_{As we expected, we have fallen in love with Fredericksburg, TX and the surrounding area!}

_{The area is called Texas Hill Country for good reason in that it is one series of rolling hills after another. And, in spite of the heat, it is so green … lovely trees are everywhere you look. There are no flyovers, no highways on stilts, chain restaurants are tucked away from the main street leaving space for artisans selling unique, one-off products.}

_{Texas Hill Country is no longer a well-kept secret and the genie is most definitely out of the bottle but I think our needs are slightly different from those who first found the area. As we have learned, if all you want is a magnificent view of the surrounding rolling hills, then you are most definitely late to the party as the prime slots have gone. These homes are not built on any serious acreage and we couldn’t get our motor home up to these spots and would certainly have nowhere to park it.}

_{However, if you want some 5 – 40 acres not on top of a hill where you are able to have a separate building for a motor home and whatever else is your thing, there are still opportunities available.}

 _{It is early days. The more we see the more we focus in on what we do and do not want. It’s a long and fun road ahead …}
