Hi folks,

our Internet will be going off in the old house(here) but not back on for about a week in the new house in Witherslack so I will not be online for a while. I am currently 3/4 moved and absolutely knacked now having not stopped for two days but all the big stuff is through so can slow down a bit now- phew

As for wildlife I have already found a baby bat on the house wall, seen roe deer next to the garden and seen a hole leading into the garden with badger hair caught on the fence! I have also seen hawkers of some sort in the garden so cant wait to get properly moved and see what else comes to see us



So bye for now


Dave

Good luck with the move Davo, I hope it all goes well !

Having seen where your new house is i'm expecting you'll get Woodpeckers, Nuthatch, Squiggles(rouge?), owls & allsorts.

What I'll be surprised to find you getting will be - electricity, internet, hot water and a postal service - but fingers crossed you do get all of the above.

Dave's new house isn't quite at the back of beyond - but you can see it from there .

Good luck with the house move Dave, hope it all goes well for you.

Best of luck

Wishing you good luck with the move Dave . I know Witherslack well as we have holiday'd in the village a couple of times and I conceed to being green with envy, a super place with amazing wildlife in and around.

The Witherslack squiggles are a little more "monochrome" Cliff, but the orchids in the wooded hill next to the pub are stunning. I might just find out if the pub does rooms

Good luck on the move, hope all goes well .
Sounds like we're in for some great wildlife reports when you get settled in .

A fine Squirrel photo Denis - but now there's a new Marshall in town the Grey Squirrel's days might be numbered - there's reds in them there hills .

The house/garden sounds like a great venue for a day out

I had an update from Dave last night saying (& I'm paraphrasing here) because of one cockup after another by his service providers, it could be another 10 days before he finally gets back online . Apparantly the phone Coy cut off his new phone line instead of the old one, then his ISP people have forgotten to reactivate something.
You'd think they could click something on a computer somewhere to effect the changes immediately, of course it doesn't help matters that to try & resolve things you have to speak to someone in Mumbai who has only a basic grasp of English.

Things going as expected then

I was wondering how Dave was doing, I thought he had been silent too long, I quite miss his posts & pics.

What a PITA. Hope he gets everything sorted soon.

Its been a while but I am back online I will give a little run down of the series of unfortunate events but not tonoight, its late and I have only just sat down. All the hassle has been worth it we are so happy here it is an brilliant place to live, huge garden and wood for the kids to play in- and its so beautifully quite



Dave

Good to see you back on line Dave .


Sounds like a great place to live .

Good to see you back Dave & so pleased to hear that you are all very happy in your new home

Glad it's all going well

Having yesterday witnessed Dave's new home all I can say is I'm massively envious, what a location .
