a room with a view

What is worth more in your eyes?   A truly spectacular house with a beautiful garden  surrounded by trees, or a family home, in need of work but with a spectacular view?

This wonderful view is enjoyed from the house of friends of ours.  Practically priceless I think.

If I had a view like this I wouldn't get anything done ...  rather simply stare, enjoy and wonder at the changing colours, light and seasons.
