When not to let your heart rule ....

Hang up your Chisels and Plane blades and take a load off with a recently turned goblet of your favourite poison, in the lounge of our Gentlemen's (and ladies) Club.

When not to let your heart rule ....

Chatting to the guys down the pub last night, the news was all about some chap who came up to the area on holiday and fell in love with a derelict farm and paid £600k for it. No water. No phone. No electricity. Not a problem, you say, just need deep pockets perhaps ?

Think again. Apart from being down an impossibly steep slope that even 4 x4's have difficulty escaping, it sits on Protected Land....ie a few stones around these parts that seem to go on forever ;) So absolutely zero chance of running in mains water. Or electric. Or a phone. Wind turbines out, for certain.

So...ooops. And I thought we were daft buying the House in the Bog.
If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.
