- shutters in my room that made it seem like night when i closed them
- my old roomates, who kept their doors open with bricks, so when i opened my door in the morning, i could see / hear all of them
- my heavy door that slammed shut, and when i was sad or angry, it made me feel really secure and safe
- the picnic table in the kitchen fitted all six of us flatmates perfectly
- i could see the castle from our lounge window
- the meadows took only five minutes to walk to
- there were always neighbours / guests in the stairwell
- my flat was four floors up, so i felt safe that no-one could break in!
- the afternoon sun would flood my room, and make it the warmest place in the flat
- rain on my four paned window
- the old comfy / broken couches in the lounge
- the sound of the door bell that you had to ring manually
