I live in a modern house, but in a historic village. I have a killer view out of my back door, including beautiful sunsets in Winter and Summer. Despite all this, the row of houses where I live has NO atmosphere what so ever. The rest of the village with its subtle aura, its cobbled streets and quaint shops ( sorry that should be SHOP ! ) does not penetrate, or rub off on my cul de sac. Inside my house is the same. I have by cramming in various items I like, managed to force a little character into my surroundings.
Things do however change when I go to work. When I reach the farm, then its atmosphere overload. As my parents house was built in the 1700's ( instead of the 1990's like mine ) there is an overwhelming presence always. I guess travelling to and thro between the two makes this painfully obvious to me. A modern house will never feel like an ancient one, but that does not excuse the extent to which my newer house lacks any aura at all. This is starting to disturb me more as time goes by. Odd.
