My Favorite Places in SL: Willow Manor
Willow Manor was a home in Estruda that I shared with my friend Kitty. It started out as just a skybox, but when she moved to ground level and rezed a garden it was beautiful. With beds of wildflowers among the willow trees, and a delightfull stone path sweeping between the flora to a lovely fountain. It's amazing the effect simple groundcovering can have
The location was nice too, with a clear view of the water to the west offering stunning sunsets, and attractive builds on several adjacent parcels (There were some ugly ones too, but the asset blacklist took care of that!). Sometimes when I had nothing to do I'd just sit in the garden listening to the fountain and watching the sun go down, the sound of Kitty's pet cat mewing in the background.
The rent was a reasonable L$1/prim but it was bigger than we needed, and the time came to downsize, so we took up our prims, returned the package and went looking for pastures new. We found a few potential sites, some were quite nice, but none had that view.
If we hadn't done it, we'd never have discovered Greater Ireland, but I'll still miss it.Ironicaly we've found ourselves on a parcel from the same landlord on a different sim, time will tell if it ends up as pretty, although right now it's still looking pretty bare.
