I survey houses as my job, I wouldn’t have touched that cottage due to the potential of dampness, those cupboards in the bedroom would have been a black mould nightmare once the heating was turned on that damp around the chimney wall above the cupboard was s massive red flag to me ££££££ you haven’t lost anything with that cottage my lovely ❤❤ glad you’ve got your forever home now xxx
Oh Wendy, I completely understand your love for this very quaint cottage, I do! The annoying idea of all the red flags tend to be a blessing in disguise though. With that much saturated dampness all around, you have to take your health into mind. Whether you buy or rent, home is where your heart is. You are one of my favorite RUclipsrs and I wish you peace and happiness, wherever you and James end up. 🥰
Having lived with depression for many years I'm not exactly a positive person but twice when I was losing housing I wrote out what I wanted/needed and both times was lucky enough to get an affordable nice place. Especially this last time when new landlord evicted me to dbl rents I was 8 days from now having or being able to afford a new place. A senior complex reached out to me with a wonderful affordable cottage. The person choosing tenants said she kept being drawn to my application so I am definately a believer in writing down and asking the universe for your needs. This can be my home now as long as can take care of myself and I love it. Congratulations.
Wendy and James what a year you have had. The cottage was a big red flag for me too. The damp and the layout was hard to understand outside and I felt clostraphobic on the outside garden area. The universe has our back and to hear you are in the process of buying your current home made me smile. I remember when you and James were painting and placing things in the house how relaxed and happy you both were even when you moved into the current studio you were buzzing with energy. Is there one last move? Or just maybe the house will lend it's self to just maybe we could do this! Have a wonderful light filled Christmas with your lovely daughter, granddaughter son in law and grandson doggy. You both deserve all the joy the seasons holds. I look forward to seeing you both in the new year of wondrous possibilities much love from my home to yours❤❤
I’m very happy for you both! You seem quite settled in your home. I really like your home studio and garden as well. Wishing you the best and thank you for the inspiring content you share with us!
Oh dearest Wendy, super big gentle hugs to you! 🤗 You inspire me every time I listen to you. I am turning 61 next week. I feel like my light is shining nice and bright right now. I don’t know what life has in store for me, but I always look for that next adventure. I love hearing your stories. I am so very happy for you and James. And, congratulations on being a grandmother! Matilda is a lovely name. 💖
How exciting for you Wendy! As cute as that cottage was, it sounds like the Universe made sure you knew it wasn't the right move for you and James. Good luck with everything around buying your house 🤞🍀 Thank you for sharing your art, life and light with us. Have a wonderful Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.
So happy you and James are settled and in charge of your own home. I live in the SE United States and prices of housing are out of control as are rent prices. One of my intentions is to let go of what is not meant for me to make roomfor what is. Sending you congratulations on making a decision that suits you both for now and will lessen stress in the new year. Be well.
That was a really cute cottage but think about how miserable the dampness would have been during the winter. As far as your current place, you two did all that work so now it will pay off for you! Sending good vibes your way! Happy holidays Wendy and James!
Dear Wendy, thank you for sharing your incredible journey of growth and letting go. True power of manifestation and dreams that become a reality. Thank you for giving me hope. Wishing you well and wishing you the very best for your forever home 💛✨
🤗 I was as excited as you were going through the cottage Wendy! So full of light and wonderful spots where I could see you enjoying nature with your sketchbook in hand! Very happy to hear that you and James were very conscious to what the surveyor was saying even though it ticked off all of your boxes🤗 You’ve had a bit of a rollercoaster ride the past while, very happy to hear that the universe is listening to you and not having to uproot again is a such a blessing. We rented for many years and would fix up each home to make it just that, a home! Only to have a landlord swoop in and put the house on the market!! We started to feel like we were simply readying the home and garden/flowerbeds for the homeowners! We’ve been in our own home for ten years now, I wish we had bought long before, however, we’re now out in the country and the stars are so brilliant and we’ve found comfort in the solitude of not being in the city. Our grandchildren have free room to roam and so do we! It’s not as spacious as we’re used to, that has taken time for adjusting too and I need to begin the declutter process now. All in good time, focusing on self care and grief care this past year. Miss my Dad so much, I know he’s always with me though🥰🤗🤍🪽
I have to say, I was SO UPSET to watch that tour of the house knowing you weren't going to get it (or at least, it felt that way the whole time). I was devastated in real time! So I was absolutely THRILLED to hear the ending of this video. So much stress and getting your hopes up and UGH -- so relatable! Isn't the Universe funny? CONGRATS to you and James -- I am SO EXCITED FOR YOU! :D
Oh dear Wendy and James, I’m so happy for you. The title of the video scared me. 😢 May you enjoy this home until you decide to make a change! Merry Christmas and thank you for enriching my life through every video. Love from Costa Rica. ❤️☀️🙏
I’m in New Zealand and house prices here are terrible too. We had a shortage and then Covid hit and the prices went bonkers. They have come down a bit but are still way too high. Anyway, I hope you and yours have a lovely Christmas and New Year and I’ll look forward to seeing you next year ❤
I'm not sure how it is for you Wendy and James, but my house has taught me so much. It was not the one I thought I would be in. The relationship has grown and deepened over time for me.
Wishing you all the happiness you both deserve and bright loving days in your new home. Life has a way of adapting to what we need at many different times in our lives.
Hello Wendy, I am so glad you did not get that cottage. All of the problems were an invitation to disaster. To be honest, it was a mule in horse's harness. And the windows were terrible. I can't imagine you and James living in a space where you could not have wide open windows. Your place now is lovely and perfect for both of you. I will keep eyes, nose and fingers crossed that it all works out for you. Hugs from Canada ❤❤
I'm sooo Happy for you & James. My story is that my husband was a real jerk about buying a home & we were married 28 years before we bought a home in 2021. I loved home decorating & creative things so it was very hard on me not to have MY home. As it turned out we were forced to start looking as our rental at the time was being sold. It was a duplex & we didn't want to take on being a landlord for the other unit & all that would entail. I picked out our current home & we have been in it 3 years & he says now that You were right & I was wrong & he likes our home. I'm just glad that it finally did happen & I know you are going to enjoy the feeling you have when you purchase your home---Merry Christmas!!!!
We’re between homes, and my Taurus sun is really struggling, so I hear you Wendy. Wishing you all the best for the safe completion on your house. We’re hoping to move into our new home in January, February …
Your video filled my heart with joy. I am so happy for you and James! I understand being in an ‘unsettled’ phase in life not quite knowing where life will lead. We just have to trust the process and our greater being/s that the path will eventually be lit for us! Wishing you and James much love and light this Christmas season and in the coming year! Thanks for sharing so honestly not only your art journey but your life journey!
Awwwww yay 🙏 🙏 everything closes well and you get your house which really has soooo much room and love your studio there too. Thx for sharing your journey with us!!!
So happy to hear of the turn of events in your search for your forever home. Sounds like you're there! Its a lovely place and you should be proud of the work you two have done making it so...good wishes for your new year ahead.
Congratulations and what a lovely end to the year. I really need to follow your lead as living in a busy city is not conducive to my health at the moment and I yearn for more space to breathe around me. Manifestation is full on now 😊
I’m so excited for you both 🎉 yay. Congratulations on your Granddaughter as well . There’s nothing like it , I have 5 Grand children. They are a blessing . Good luck with everything, please share the move in, decorating process. Love you both. Merry Christmas and Happy, healthy and prosperous New Year ❤
So happy for you both Wendy! I've been following every step of your journey. I'm also an artist with a Taurus moon! I feel the same when it comes to "Home" 🏡❤️ so happy you're investing now in a property and this opens up your future options! I loved this video and it's reignited my desire to fine tune that list of wishes in my own art journal and fix up where I'm at now too.Thank you!! ✍️ 🎨 🙏💗🤗
Oh Wendy, I think you are where you are meant to be. Your current house is perfect for you both. Home is where the memories are made. Happy holidays. ❤
Getting to the home I have now has also been a journey. It feels so good now to have this place that finally works for me... so I know how you feel! Children flourish in a stable environment. I am sure your grandchild(ren) will love to visit grandma's wonderful Wendy house. 🏠🥰
very happy for you both hope all goes well with buying the house, it does feel so right for both of you, solstice blessings and have a wonderful Christmas xx
Merry Christmas Wendy and James. Life is full of possibilities and as cute as that cottage was it was not meant to be, but I will continue to pray that ther home you are currently living in goes well so that you have your possible forever home. I love how you put your intentions into that journal and looks and sound that it’s all in you hands! Be happy to hear the contracts are signed and it’s yours. There is nothing like the love for our grandchildren and no one understands it until they too experienced this joy. Lots of love and hugs to you both. Stay bright and happy my dear Wendy… Sparkle where you can and Cahoon when you need to just know that I for one appreciate everything that you share with all of us. Blessings to you both.😂❤❤❤❤❤🎄🎄🎄🎁🎁🎁☕️🎹
Fingers crossed that you two are able to purchase this home. 🤞. In Canada home prices and availability are definitely insane and so I feel this video deeply. I sure hope in your next video you will be able to share that you’ve done it. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.
🤞... all goes smoothly. The cottage was so cute but, yes a lot of work & expense. Thanks for taking us along. Always nice to have a nosy😊. I like the house your in. It may feel different, more settled, when it is actually yours. To do with how you want. Congratulations, Happy for you both🏠 🙏♥️
I am also a Taurus moon, but I’m a Sag rising. I’ve moved almost once a year since I was 18 and I’m now 57. I yearn for a forever home but I also don’t think I can stay in one spot. Since my children have all grown I think my solution is a tiny home on wheels so I can take my safe space with me yet still explore. I’m so very happy for you in finding your home❤
SO very happy that things seem to be looking better for you and James! Will keep my fingers crossed that it all works out!!! You were asking about us sharing ... Here's my share. I live in Canada and like everywhere, everything went up a lot aside from wages... During the lockdown we bought land and the price of the house we were to build on it post Covid was estimated to be a decent amount. Fast forward, 2 years later when we work everything out and pandemic is over and we can build, price went up 3 times! That is crazy... We made it work but that is preventing us from raking early retirement like we had planned ( we are 52 and 59)... But we have our forever home so we are extremely grateful for that! And trying to focus on the good sides and make everything else just work out as best as we can! We also got our first grandson this year as my son had a son! Totally understand that "there are no words" thing! Merry Christmas to James and you! 🙏🧡
Been wanting this for you for a long time. So happy for you both. I really feel for folks who have to rent. I would hate to be at the mercy of landlords in this day and age. Here's to a smooth transaction. I'm moving too! All exciting. Lots of love xxx
I can understand why you fell for that cottage. ❤ However, I love the house you live in now. I will keep my fingers crossed that the purchase goes through smoothly. Merry Christmas 🌲 🎅 🎄
Dear Wendy, fingers crossed for the new adventure right where you are. Obviously I am delighted you are planning to stay! Everything happens for a reason. I personally couldn’t have lived in the damp old cottage - with all its faults it sounded like an “asthma-ville horror” and with all that hill-climbing no proper safe garden for little granddaughter nor granddog to play. Merry Christmas to you, James and the family 🎄
I lived with a fear of eviction for 2 years when the house with the studio I was renting was put on the market...it was the most stressful of times... yet, it hadn't been for this uncomfortable situation, I wouldn't have manifested my flat, which I bought 2 months ago....
Congratulations, hope everything goes thru smoothly. I live in New England in the U.S. and the prices of homes and utilities in our local area are also out of control. Some places have stabilized but not here. We've been looking for an affordable home for almost two years now. This was a great video!
I absolutely love how you shared your experience. I'm currently house hunting too also. 2025 is going to get very interesting. My Aries Moon is very excited about it too. Merry Christmas.xx
Such a lovely cottage. I would have fallen in love as well! But wisdom in walking away from it. Also I’m becoming a first time grandmother is March! My daughter is having a daughter!
Wow!!! 😮 I can understand the concerns you discussed. ❤🎉😊1/3 the cost of the house 🏠 is a lot! Totally get it. Safe is important. And I can see how you fell in love with the house.
Wendy, Canada is the same. We have pricing wars ie people trying to outbid each other. The prices have gone astronomically high. Unfortunately now people who may have been able to buy a house 5 years or so no longer can buy a house. Renting has gone up tremendously and people are living in tents etc..
such great news that house is lovely. i ve been following your journey from the start.. To have opportunity and be in a financial position to own a place in Somerset is awesome and it good you were able to snap it up when you could afford it, you got nature on your doorstep and not far from Glastonbury . its very trendy area now with all the Ab fabs fashionistas in the area.
Oh no! You fell in love with a Money Pit. So glad your surveyor warned you. Fine if you have deep pockets and nerves of steel but so tough if you are on a tight budget. The damp, the cold, the worry over always more problems emerging. So much dirt and heavy labouring for so long. Glad I did mine when we were naïve and prices and rules were not so crazy. Even so there were so many, unforseen problems that Had to be done while we were roughing it and dreaming of doing the artistic finishing touches. Only really worth it for that special forever house I think. So funny you are actually living your dream house and are now buying it. So sensible; Try before you buy.
Until you've had the security of the roof over your head being challenged and threatened, you can never know how deeply, deeply unsettling it is. I think it's fair to say most older, gorgeous, cottagey-type properties will inevitably come with a whole heap of challenges. Very, very wise to get that report done. I'm keeping 🤞with all being well for the current completion. Happy Christmas 🎄
Oh Wendy1!!! congratulations and James is a jewel!!!! I shall manifest a partner like James, you two are awesome together/\. You are amazing! Cheers and Merry Christmas
Congratulations on your house! That cottage had very little light downstairs. You would have felt like you were living in a cave after a while, and with the damp, it would have FELT like a cold cave.
I guess the universe was telling you the cottage wasn’t right, it looked lovely but too many issues. Your current home looked lovely and it will be great to make it your own. Sounds like it was meant to be. Have a great festive season. X
I am not sure in the end if you did indeed get your house to buy? but I hope so. Happy Christmas to you and the lovely James. Blessings from Jilly & Madge, in West Devon, England. xxx

Been wanting this for you for a long time. So happy for you both. I really feel for folks who have to rent. I would hate to be at the mercy of landlords in this day and age. Here's to a smooth transaction. I'm moving too! All exciting. Lots of love xxx
I can understand why you fell for that cottage. ❤ However, I love the house you live in now. I will keep my fingers crossed that the purchase goes through smoothly. Merry Christmas 🌲 🎅 🎄
Dear Wendy, fingers crossed for the new adventure right where you are. Obviously I am delighted you are planning to stay! Everything happens for a reason. I personally couldn’t have lived in the damp old cottage - with all its faults it sounded like an “asthma-ville horror” and with all that hill-climbing no proper safe garden for little granddaughter nor granddog to play. Merry Christmas to you, James and the family 🎄
I lived with a fear of eviction for 2 years when the house with the studio I was renting was put on the market...it was the most stressful of times... yet, it hadn't been for this uncomfortable situation, I wouldn't have manifested my flat, which I bought 2 months ago....
I love the stairs going to the stone slabfloor ! I love old features like that
Congratulations, hope everything goes thru smoothly. I live in New England in the U.S. and the prices of homes and utilities in our local area are also out of control. Some places have stabilized but not here. We've been looking for an affordable home for almost two years now. This was a great video!
🎄❄Hope i t all goes smoothly for you . Merry Christmas lots of love and a Happy New Year to you and James 🎅🏻x
I absolutely love how you shared your experience. I'm currently house hunting too also. 2025 is going to get very interesting. My Aries Moon is very excited about it too. Merry Christmas.xx
Hope everything works out really well for you both. Merry Christmas and -appy New Year ❤xx
congratulations Wendy... lovely news
Such a lovely cottage. I would have fallen in love as well! But wisdom in walking away from it.
Also I’m becoming a first time grandmother is March! My daughter is having a daughter!
Finances r the same in the USA . Very discouraging for most people . We built our first house pay check to paycheck . I learned a lot . Best to u
Merry Christmas🎄
Wow!!! 😮 I can understand the concerns you discussed. ❤🎉😊1/3 the cost of the house 🏠 is a lot! Totally get it. Safe is important. And I can see how you fell in love with the house.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hogmanay to you both.
Very nice and congrats on the house ❤
Congratulations 🎉🎊🎈🍾 ❤🎉😊in your purchase of your 🏠
Wendy, Canada is the same. We have pricing wars ie people trying to outbid each other. The prices have gone astronomically high. Unfortunately now people who may have been able to buy a house 5 years or so no longer can buy a house. Renting has gone up tremendously and people are living in tents etc..
Fingers crossed for your forever home. 🦋
such great news that house is lovely. i ve been following your journey from the start.. To have opportunity and be in a financial position to own a place in Somerset is awesome and it good you were able to snap it up when you could afford it, you got nature on your doorstep and not far from Glastonbury . its very trendy area now with all the Ab fabs fashionistas in the area.
The flooring is really pretty
Happy Holidays!
Oh no! You fell in love with a Money Pit. So glad your surveyor warned you. Fine if you have deep pockets and nerves of steel but so tough if you are on a tight budget. The damp, the cold, the worry over always more problems emerging. So much dirt and heavy labouring for so long. Glad I did mine when we were naïve and prices and rules were not so crazy. Even so there were so many, unforseen problems that Had to be done while we were roughing it and dreaming of doing the artistic finishing touches. Only really worth it for that special forever house I think. So funny you are actually living your dream house and are now buying it. So sensible; Try before you buy.
Until you've had the security of the roof over your head being challenged and threatened, you can never know how deeply, deeply unsettling it is.
I think it's fair to say most older, gorgeous, cottagey-type properties will inevitably come with a whole heap of challenges. Very, very wise to get that report done.
I'm keeping 🤞with all being well for the current completion. Happy Christmas 🎄
Oh Wendy1!!! congratulations and James is a jewel!!!! I shall manifest a partner like James, you two are awesome together/\. You are amazing! Cheers and Merry Christmas
Keep my fingers crossed for everyting to be going smoothley
Congratulations on your house! That cottage had very little light downstairs. You would have felt like you were living in a cave after a while, and with the damp, it would have FELT like a cold cave.
Congratulations to new Home owner ✍🏡✨
I guess the universe was telling you the cottage wasn’t right, it looked lovely but too many issues.
Your current home looked lovely and it will be great to make it your own. Sounds like it was meant to be. Have a great festive season. X
All those narrow stairs as you get older are less desirable… so glad you are in something easier as you ‘grow.’
I am not sure in the end if you did indeed get your house to buy? but I hope so. Happy Christmas to you and the lovely James. Blessings from Jilly & Madge, in West Devon, England. xxx
Congratulations on the home.
Totally agree 👍 I would be stressed as well. ❤🎉😊 yes mortgages are through the roof here in USA 🇺🇸 too.
So happy for you and life is truly filled with magic,miracles and serendipity💖💞🕯📓🖋☯♾Warm hugs coming your way all the way from Sweden🫂
Counting chickens and fingers crossed Wendy! X
I know why you were so sad about the cottage. I would’ve loved that cottage.
