The title makes it sound more shocking than it is.
In our new
house, the shower cubicle looks out of the bathroom window, which looks
out of the front of the house, which isn't overlooked by anything else.
So unlike any house I've ever lived in before, there's the very real
and present possibility of leaving the window and blinds open, and being
able to see and hear the great outdoors while showering.
Outside,
the wind rustles through the trees. Southward in the distance the sun
glints off of the sea. Nearby the sea birds can be heard. Eastward are
fields where the Jersey cows graze.
The last paragraph makes it sound more romantic than it is.
In
reality the wind in the trees can be heard only when the road noise
quietens down. Southward, the sea is a tiny triangle of blue between a
couple of trees - you have to know exactly where to look, and can't
possibly see it if there's the vaguest hint of fog or mist. The birds
are seagulls squawking noisily on the roof. Yes there are fields
nearby, but with the road alongside the cows never come over this way,
what with the racket from the traffic.
That last paragraph makes it sound more tedious than it is.
Even
with the traffic and the fog and the seagulls, there's no better way to
start the day. If you're driving up to Five Oaks at 8am on a Saturday
morning, best keep your eyes on the road when you pass our place.
