Hayley's+English+Piece

My ideal home is nestled on the north-west coast of Tasmania in a little town called Penguin. Penguin has only 3000 people living in it. My ideal home is inspired by a house in Penguin and also my grandmother’s house in Victoria.My house is old but renovated. As you walk in, you are blown away by a shimmering chandelier in the foyer. My chandelier is extremely old. It is a beautiful ornamental piece that has 16 light globes on it.
 * __MY IDEAL HOME __**

The inside of the house still has its original fireplaces and high ceilings. The grand staircase that leads up to the master bedroom is made of freshly polished mahogany. When you enter my bedroom it is like a different world. The gigantic bed stands tall in the majestic room. Opposite my bed is one of the original fireplaces. It is made of marble. It still works and keeps me snug and warm during winter. My wardrobe is full to the brim of clothes and shoes. My bedroom is my kingdom.

As you look out the stunning window of my master bedroom you can see the ocean a few streets away. This is my favourite part of my magical room. Sitting at my window looking out towards the horizon and watching the sun set is what I live for. This is why I can’t bear to live in the over-populated city. Where would you get views like that in a city packed to the rafters?

The other rooms in my house are exquisite. I have a bathroom, entertainment room and indoor pool on the second storey. On the first storey I have a living room, dining room, laundry, sunroom, kitchen and gym. These rooms aren’t really used much except for the lounge room and the kitchen. They are joined together so that I can cook dinner while I’m watching my favourite television shows on my fifty inch plasma. My plasma is another one of my pride and joys. It is black and all made of glass. It has all those HD channels on it too.

Outside is 44 acres of lush, green pasture. If you look out from the back porch, down the hill is the Dial Range. It is great for hiking and horse riding. I have two horses, Black Beauty and Blossom. Black Beauty is as black as night, has one white leg and has a star on her forehead. Blossom is a chestnut mare and has a shiny, sleek coat.

Black Beauty and Blossom are like my children. I love riding them around the Dial Range on the tracks we know so well. In the barn the horses live in I also have two cattle dog (Bessie and Bonnie) and 5 sheep. Every morning the barn teems with activity as everyone is let out for exercise.

I simply can’t tolerate living in any other way. The relaxed, laid back lifestyle in the country is way better than life in the raging city. The faint sounds of the waves or the soft, gentle neighing or growling from my animals as I lay down at night replace the blaring police sirens and shouting from the city streets. This is where I am meant to be, it is where I belong.  BACK TO HOME PAGE
