There's already a Victorian on the land page, so if anyone *is* particularly interested in the one I'll release at noon, you've got a 50-50 chance! (Every type is on the land page right now except for the pier/water stilt homes.)

My third Victorian of the evening (and my last roll of the dice) is this blue Hardy in Century. I think this is a pretty desirable plot (especially if you want a driveway) and as I'll be downgrading before I'd have the chance to try again, I'll hold onto it until Tuesday noon SL time in case anyone is especially interested in trying for it. (I've left all the doors open so you can take a look.)

Another Victorian, in Holdover, with lots of flowering shrubs within the brick walls. The other Victorian in Pididdle is still claimed. Releasing it in a minute.

If you see a Stilt-on-Land appear on the land page in a few minutes, it's most likely this one in Visser.

A camper for someone who really likes mountains, in Sassafras. Releasing it in a few minutes.

I need to deactivate my Premium account in about 24 hours, so will be clicking and abandoning until then. I've just grabbed this Victorian in Pididdle, so it should be appearing on the land page in a few minutes. (No neighbors behind or to the side.)

The pose did seem appropriate

It's part of a large set of lavender plants from KIDD Grass Garden http://slurl.com/secondlife/KIDD Grass Garden/128/128/22 - I think it cost around L$125, and all the parts are supposed to be only 1LI.

As no one expressed an interest in my Walrus Beach Traditional, I'll be abandoning it in a few minutes. I hope whoever gets it appreciates it. (Claimed within 10 seconds, and abandoned within 1 minute. 🤔) Abandoned 3 times. I'm beginning to take it personally.

Farewell, Picture House. I shall miss you.

Thanks. I'll miss the garden 😕

I'm going to release my Traditional house in Walrus Beach on Wednesday and posted the details here:

As Traditionals seem to be in short supply, I thought it worth mentioning that I will be releasing mine in Walrus Beach on Wednesday. It's set on a hill, with a view towards the water from upstairs (in the Winchester), no neighbors to the front or rear, and other nearby parcels are at a lower level so it feels very private. If you're particularly interested, let me know and we can arrange a time that would give you a good chance of getting it. Or, as I've just been reading, someone with a Premium Plus account might want to request it. It's still listed on the Parade of Houses blog under Resident Owned Places of Interest so is open to everyone (I requested that it be removed last week, so you shouldn't be bothered by anyone after the next update): http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Walrus Beach/91/110/32

Hello, everybody - Just wanted to let those who are collecting candy know that I have a pumpkin at the entrance to my always-open house. So far only 19 people have found it Why not visit and look at the exhibition, indulge yourself in the cafe or daydream in the garden while you're there? http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Walrus Beach/83/111/33

Hello! It's been almost exactly a year since I last posted anything in this thread: (It's been a difficult 18 months in RL, as is the case for many others.) But, having taken a look at the massive L$ balance in my account recently, I've decided to revamp my Winchester trad. Prior to this, I'd set it up as a photo gallery, but as I didn't really promote it only a couple of people stopped by. It's still a gallery on the ground floor, but the upstairs is now a cafe, and I've redone the garden to make it a pretty and peaceful place to hang out. It'll be added to the next update of the "Resident Owned Places of Interest" listing maintained by @PrudenceAnton, but you can beat the crowds (ha!) and take a look before then! http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Walrus Beach/83/112/33 Just a quick walk down to the waterfront - if you listen closely, you can hear the waves crashing against the houseboat moorings every now and then!

Oops, quoted wrong comment. Too excited about all the Lisp furniture!

I may have been premature in posting this - took a look at my L$ balance and thought I might as well spend some of it on a paint shell. This is what the house looks like now. And I still have about 35LI left And having the sounds of water and birds in the background makes all the difference!

Many thanks again - will do! [Edit] I've been playing around with the placement of the original sound controllers you mentioned - that hadn't occurred to me - and now I have the slightly muffled sound of waves in the distance and 2 sources of bird song that are louder, and it's great - thank you very much!

Thank you, Eleanor! I couldn't find it in my inventory or notifications, but I've just gone to the MP to buy it and had a quick listen. I'd love to use the one with seagulls, but don't see any instructions for lowering the volume (my house is a bit away from the water, so ideally I'd like to hear my birdsong in the foreground with the waves and gulls in the background). Do you know if this is possible? If you haven't done this yourself, I'll contact the pack's creator.

Thank you! At least pre-covid I was a cinema addict and went 2-3 times per week - these were some of the last films I got to see. I was planning on updating the posters every few weeks (IMDB makes that easy ). Maybe you or someone else reading this can help me with something - I've wandered around other parts of Bellisseria and heard lots of ambient sounds, but this house and the protected land around it is 'dead' - the only sounds I can hear are coming from the birdhouse I set up. My settings say that sounds *aren't* restricted to the parcel, so I should be hearing something - birds? - even if I'm too far away from the water to hear it lapping.

My somewhat spartan (in comparison to others) Winchester is now fully decorated. Haven't been able to be in SL for, well, months, and I'm not sure how long I'll keep up a premium sub, but for now my house is open to anyone who wants to visit: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Walrus Beach/88/112/33

Hi, Marianne- I've finally been able to 'finish' decorating my house, and it's now open to the public (it includes a photo gallery downstairs), so you can try out all the animations in the kitchen and the dining table: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Walrus Beach/88/112/33

Have just sent out another batch of invitations to Belli Home Hoppers! Have a good weekend, all! (For anyone else interested in joining the group, please send me a private message so as not to distract from the actual topic of this thread - ta )

Will send. For anyone else, please send me a *Private Message* - I apologize for not realizing/remembering this is possible! And even if you're *not* hopping, anyone reading this is welcome! I'll be away from my computer until 2PM SL time, but will get back to you then!

Have just seen this, Sylvia. I started the group back during the summer (have written more about it elsewhere in response to Chloe), and made it by invitation rather than an open group because I wanted to limit it to people who were active here in this thread, and because I didn't want to replicate something like Bellisseria Citizens. The idea was to take acquaintances met here and form a network of people who might become friends, not to amass a large number of people for the sake of it.
