Its been hosing down here in Devon for the last few days and no end in sight (another inch tonight!). Turnamere has probably ditched his plans for an extension and is busy converting his house into a houseboat, Janitor is probably standing on top of the Moors like King Kanute and Mrs T and I are resigned to our fate with the lane outside our house now more like a river.
Sooooo... Gooby could I call on your good nature to save us all and ask you very kindly to PLEASE PUT YOUR ROOF ON

Sorry - the roof will go back on in November. This time it isnt my rain dance, it is the evil Mrs Triple S. It is chucking it down here. I am usually so obsessed with diving that most good sized puddle looks tempting but after coming home in the liz, it felt more like driving Bond's sub.

I was actually thinking that if the extension was a little further on I would have a 2 storey swimming pool by now.

Mrs Tripple S, I'll lend you my own car if you are willing to lift the curse by next weekend; big birthday barbecue before the JCBs move in and destroy most of the garden.

This could turn into something really amazing for us, and very scary for Tipper

The BoLOC's are way more efficient than JCB's!

One of my aspirations is to throw open the garden for a barbie as part of a Cornwall run, however, I was waiting to complete the works when I will have 5 bedrooms (currently 2), a decent garage, large drive and a level garden for overflow camping. At present we even have guests sleeping in the summer house! If anyone is serious about braving the Bank Holiday traffic and the horrendous roadworks at Goss Moor and happy with LeMans type accomodation (tent) drop me an e-mail through my profile.
