Now that I’ve got my perfect garden all planned (in my head
at least!), I’m turning my attention to designing the house I want when I am
Rich.
As I’ll have unlimited money and space, I thought about
including a home cinema: a specially designed room equipped with a huge screen
and the latest audiovisual technology where I’ll be able to watch my favourite
films whenever I want. I could ask my chef to make me some popcorn to add to
the authenticity … but it wouldn’t be the same, would it?
Perhaps I’m showing my age, but for me it’s the going out
that makes watching a film at a cinema so much more enjoyable than watching the
same thing at home. Deciding which film to see, checking where and when it’s
being shown, getting ready to go out, making the journey, buying the ticket,
choosing where to sit … all make a trip to the cinema a special occasion.
I’ve just been to see The Hobbit – and loved it. It also
gave me some new ideas for my ideal home. I want something that looks like
Rivendell but is as cosy as a hobbit hole!
Staying in or going out? Which would you choose?
