Ladies and gentlemans, after many years in the cities, chaos in the streets and vast amounts of peoples, Prof.Witchheimer has decided to leave the urban civilization and settle in the country. He has bought a house in a nice little village at a vineyard and there he will be resident soon. At the moment our Professor is working very hard and preparing himself for move and planning his new painting and gaming room. As usual he's going to keep you informed about the progress of that exciting project!
here the pics of the first viewing of house
The future painting room, former small stained glass studio, a hobby of the previous owners:

The future gaming room, in the past carpenter's workshop, another hobby of the previous owners:

Congratulations Professor! I hope the move goes far smoother than you could hope. And welcome to the joys of living in the country.
-
Congratulations! I think it's great the house already has a studio and game room built into it. I think the tradition upon moving to the country is that you have to wear a tweed jacket with leather elbow patches and get a hunting dog.
-
Oh, you lucky, lucky dog! Well, I suppose calling it luck is unfair since I assume its the fruits of long life of hard labour. But a hobby room?! AND a gameroom? I don't mind telling you: had I not been raised a gentleman I would have vented my envy by calling you a complete b@$t@rd. ;-)
-
I wish you all the best with your move; it is generally a wise idea to move away from the larger cities.

I think I wont wear any tweed jackets :) but a dog was one of my thoughts, i think maybe in 1-2 years I will get one :mrgreen:
-
Whats wrong with Tweed jackets? I purchased one recently and love it. I think since my 40th birthday earlier this year many things have started to change in my life, in particular my odd dress sense :lol:
Good luck with the move, I envy you being able to live in the country. I'll be stuck here in fog bound old London town for sometime.
-
Good luck with the move Prof, looks like a really nice place.
-
Congratulations Alex - hard work brings its rewards. I hope that you and your family have a fantastic future in your new home.
-
Lots of room for miniatures. Where will your family live? ;)
-
Finally you can get all your stuff out of their boxes :)
-
Many congratulations ;-) I could say that I envy you (and that would be true), instead I will say:
Wow, that's a hell of place for a hobby. Happy many hours transforming before you can enjoy the fruits of your labour. But, hey, WHAT a fruit :mrgreen:
-
thanks, lads, next week I will start the renovation. Looks like I wont have much to paint :(
Finally you can get all your stuff out of their boxes :)
that's true :mrgreen:
-
Woah. Game room. Envy.
:lol:
Say, shall I wait with sending you the ships until you´ve settled down a bit? I could include the junk into a large box, maybe...
-
Enjoy your new home and post some Work In Progress pics as you rennovate (for us poor slobs who actually have a room but no idea what to do with it being totally talentless). :D
Regards,
Don

congratulations Prof. Country living is next best to tranquility :)
May you enjoy the senerity and relaxation you so deserve.
God Bless
Helen

Hey Prof it is totally nonsense to move in the new house because we meet there in a few weeks and after that you need a new home sorry Grimm :mrgreen:

I'll bring the Mafeking tape that Plynkes so kindly recorded for us!

and the next update on the Prof.Witchheimers current project...
Gündelbach, a small (about 1200 people) and old (about 1000 years) village, in the nature reserve area Stromberg-Heuchelberg with some of the best wineries of Baden-Württemberg.

What a nice little recluse for a landtjunker to enjoy his leasure.
-
Looks to me like a lovely place to live and raising the family. :)
-
Now you're also living in a small far-away-from-everything wine village, like myself. Congrats!
-
Will that be "Muldenweg"? Perfect for building an underground lair, methinks! :lol: :D
-
That's exactly the kind of town I have always wanted to live in. Something small and surrounded by fields. I've found a couple of them in New England, just have to convine the wife to move. :D
That looks like a great place Prof. Congratulations again.
-

yup, Muldenweg :) Hollow Lane in english :mrgreen:
-
Congratulations!
Just remember to make the garden easy to maintain - or you may find yourself lacking time for the hobby like me :wink:
-
Its looks like a lovely place to live. :)
-
Finally I did manage to start puttting up my paint room. The shelves are still empty and the table will be extended. Hope to get painted something next days :)

congrats from poland too!
I'm really envious since I started renting flat with my concubine ~2 months ago, and already can't wait to move out to own place :wink:
-
Nice set up Prof! I wish I could keep my work area looking that neat.
-
ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
