That's funny you lived in the house! One of your boys lives in Wales?
I understand about the post being too long. I rarely read long posts as I rarely have time. This was already split up and thats the first part. I'll try to make them shorter but it's not easy. Also, there are so many posts on steemit that seem to be there just there to milk some votes from people that don't read them and don't really say anything. Bots could write most of these.
