Park Life



The Parents in the newest addition to their property portfolio 


We have climbed mountains, been out for fancy dinners, met old school friends for drinks, explored parts of Hong Kong that even The Parents had not ventured, but the most exciting part of our trip so far has got to have been seeing The Parking Space. Regular readers of this blog will know that The Parents recently became the proud owners of their very own rectangle of concrete after renting their parking space for many years. They viewed a few but eventually settled on one with three walls bordering it, creating their very own little nook. It was an incredibly exciting day for The Parents when they finally signed on the dotted line and took possession of their little space and I was thrilled to be able to see it after all I had heard about this wonderful little piece of concrete. However, The Mother revealed to us as we were pulling in that the space itself was not actually the most exciting thing to see. You are probably now wondering to yourself what possibly could be more exciting than the ownership of a piece of car park. Well, the icing on the cake was the secret passageway The Mother had discovered to take them from their space to the door to the lift. I can’t say much more than that for fear that people may then flock to it, thus ruining the secret but it was pretty sensational.


So they now own a flat in Birmingham, two flats in Hong Kong and, the cherry on their portfolio, their very own half a million dollar parking space. I think The Mother may have aspirations to be a parking space tycoon as I caught her eyeing up other space adverts the other day. We’ll have to watch that – parking space buying can be addictive.
