Big jugs!

I had an interesting walk yesterday evening along the canals in Amsterdam with my boss and my bosses boss who happened to be a local.

Having not visited this great old city since a geography field trip when I was 15, I was saddened by how many more women had to warm themselves in the windows of their tiny tenements under red heat lamps. The poor souls.

That said, I learnt a lot about the value of property and what you get for your euro, and here are three examples I came across (each had a number so I could instantly recall them!). Flat 34A was first up and rather small and unimaginatively upholstered. 36C was slightly more rounded but craved ambient lighting to make it really work and lastly there was 38DD which needed some TLC and would be a handful even if you just used it as a weekend retreat...
