The Authentic Eclectic
They Spent 5 Million Dollars…And Yet, We Watched The Reality Show That Told Us HOW, Right To The End. Why?
Then this morning Jessica Wildfire turned our guilt up some notches when she wrote her article…
‘No matter how big your house is, how recent your car is, or how big your bank account is. Our graves will always be the same size. Stay humble.’
There’s a show here on ABC TV. It’s called, Grand Designs. The initial series was set in Britain, and the present one is in New Zealand.
As the titles would suggest, the show is all about the trials and tribulations of building homes bigger than Ben Hur, and grander than most of us could ever imagine.
Having watched a few in the past, and knowing what to expect (it’s all staged) we usually switch off and read instead.
But last night, could have been the wine talking, we left it on and watched it to the bitter end.
That was a big mistake!
The home was being built on a block (blocks?) of land overlooking the ocean.
