> Hi, Charlie.
> I don't think Jamie finds it a chore writing the posts - he enjoys it - I think he's a budding novelist; he might have to be, he's not much good at anything else Ha Ha .....

> We've been just the once so far, but are planning to go this evening as all the parents (my dad is back from Germany for the next week or so) are going out with some old friends to a posh restaurant, not really our scene.

> We've not seen any signs of rats around but did find some poison traps (all empty) around the outbuildings which had obviously been kept "alive" regularly. The water in the pond is quite clean and clear so I guess that the reeds around the edge are doing their job. We have been careful not to swallow any pond water or go in the water here or anywhere with an open cut, graze or other wound, just in case.

> Never tried getting messy with paint etc and can't really afford to totally trash old clothes (do speak to my dad about pocket money, please !) unless they really do get too small to wear. Does wallpaper paste wash out of clothes OK ? Sounds like fun.

> Uncle Danny has already told us to stay clear of the site whilst he and his guys are working there, so I don't think we will be doing any decorating anyway - dad wants it done properly for one thing.

> Yeah, the pool looks great, the only problem apparently is that there is no heating, but dad has said he would want to make it useable all year so is looking at solar panels and ground source heat pumps for not just the pool but the whole house, he likes the idea of being self-sufficient, and there are plenty of grooves on outbuilding where solar panel can be put.

> Jamie will no doubt write up more from tonight and half term in due course.
