I have to say that the windows are my favourite feature in my own home. Looking out to sea, as I do, means that in the late afternoon there can be this wonderful buttery light that fills the room. On other days the sky is crimson and the walls are pink with it. The storms out to sea are beautiful too, with great lowering skies and flashes from the lightning that can even come from below the horizon, far away on the French coast.
As my home is on top of a cliff, the vantage point means that one feels very close to the weather (if that doesn't sound ridiculous).
Of course looking out also has the advantage of meaning that I don't have to consider how much the inside needs decorating!
