It is a victorian farmers workers cottage one of two that stand in a lane,
they used to be the only buildings, but two more have been built in the last 30 or so years, the lane is only a 100yds long and leads onto a foot path to manor house farm, that is quite old 16th century i think.
Ooh, maybe the ghosts haunting the manor house got bored and went out for a walk to visit the cottages. A 16th century manor house just HAS to have a few ghosts.

Let's send the Ghost Hunters to England, to Wollie's Cot! Wouldn't that be cool? And if Wol needs any plumbing maintenance, they could attend to that too.

I'll bet they could repair his fireplace too!

Let's start a write in campaign! I'll bet the guys would love a trip to England.

I would rather have the three wise ladies come visit :biggrin: but if the
ghost hunters can fix my chimney, (it needs a liner) and my plumbing,
every time i have a bath the hot water dries up to the kitchen, and i have to pump cold water up the hot tap to get it to work again, send them over
please.
In the mean time i am going to buy the web cam, and mayhaps Kia can set
it up so the outside world can look in, must remember to buy some jamas though, my loo is downstairs.

Maybe your computer is tampering with the electricity in a bid to make you buy it a web-cam.

:smile: I think it is the last thing i *want* in my cottage, i will be a nervous wreck, just imagine if :blushing:
So may be i will use it for a couple of weeks as a detector, then point it out
of the window to look at the hills :biggrin:
