“I am looking for someone to share in an adventure that I am arranging, and it’s very difficult to find anyone.”

Dream a little dream with me
Large house. Surrounded by rolling hills - close to pretty bushland and the seaside.
Features include:
Princess tower
ballroomesque room - easily converted into ballroom
large library
Secret room
twenty-eight beautiful bedrooms
Fantabulous garden
Now, if you think I'm dreaming a bit large here, or seem a leetle selfish in my extravagance, please understand that, if I had such a dream house (particularly one with twenty-eight beautiful bedrooms) I'd instantly fulfill another long-time dream and turn it into a retreat for women in crisis pregnancies - with facilities for midwives and newborns. Also I'd start up an adoption program for the babies whose mothers aren't able to keep them.
And, just for fun:
Ideal house staff
Mary Poppins - to help me school & raise my seven children (and look after all the newborns)
Jeeves - steward/administrator (I know he's a valet, but I want a steward)
Passepartout - butler (ditto...)
Gardener - Sam Gamgee (and family) - to take care of the massive old world garden - complete with pumpkins and roses
