Yes, all of those things are incuded. Plus the run of my whole country estate.

The wooded valleys and the purple heather clad hills, with the wild haunting cry of the curlew answered by the muted thrill of the snipe. The river meanders through the lowland, sparkling and splashing its way to the sea, through the hay meadows resplendant in blue celandine and forget me nots.

Which reminds me, they are coming to empty the septic tank tomorrow.

lol he has such a way with words :-))

Now this un-sweetie thing worries me.you can have one of them in a 12 bed dormatrie.:}

Septic tank,,!!all mod cons then,,,,,,,,?

it that what you call a pool then ?,a sparkling river with fish,!

You hardly think they are going to build an entire sewerage system for one house, when the nearest mains is about 15 miles away...? Oh, and our water is straight from a spring as well, so there are no water bills to pay :-)

Septic tanks are environmentally friendly. They provide the organic fertiliser that is used to grow your organically grown lettuces, tomotoes, etc etc.

Lovely thought, eh!

Only sensible use for all that s*** mate!

what you grow your veg in a septic tank,,?


water from a well,with a bucket !

its sounding more homley by the second,,idillic,,,,,,,,i wont want to come home,

No, water is piped up from the spring, although we do have a well. The well was found under some flagstones in the main farmhouse. A thick glass plate was put over it and it is lit right down to the bottom, about 60' depending on the height of the water table. Quite spectacular!

Did you not know that human waste is taken and pelletised, then used as organic fertiliser on fields....?

yep, I can confirm that.

No need to buy tomato plants for the greenhouse when they are free. Thats how I used to get mine not that many years ago.

not on my list of fav places to visit but do know about the tomatoe plants,bit like pick and mix for variety then,

all for free you say,,!

must contact local sewer department,for further info infact everybody should have free tomatoes plants I think:}}}

Oh Hales you havn't said if I can come or not,yet. Only I'll have to let Debbo know if we want to use her lawn. She has people such as Elton John and Meatloaf who sing and stuff, and people watching them quaffing inordinate bottles of champagne and wine. She also has showjumpers and young farmers(ooh argh), who shear sheep with their shirts off,and Royal Marines in uniform with their instruments. Occasionally, at the weekend she has a couple called Charles and Camilla to stay. But more than anything she has fox hunting with men all in red jackets and big horses. Her OH, Andy (now deceased) said when it was banned that it wouldn't stop happening on his land. She mixes with all sorts does our Debbo. Well she was a Mitford.
