"Now That DEFRA Have Released The Movement Ban, Can We Go To Slaughter Now?"


With the recent outbreak of Foot and Mouth in Surrey, little piggies like these have had a stay of execution!


Their sisters are going off to the great pigsty in the sky tomorrow and these little piggies are still putting on weight for a couple more weeks.

This Is the Old Extension That Was Put On in the 1760's


Only joking!


King Edwards Five Ways School build a kitchen block extension in 1976/7.


In 2006 Beth and Daniel added another storey to the extension.


This gives us three bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs.


It cost twice what I paid for the whole place back in 1997.

The Oldest Part of the House


The house dates back to before 1700. This is the old front door and the avenue that leads down to it would have been the orginal enterence off the old green lane. No room for cars, but just carts and horses in those days.


The french windows you can see replace the old barn doors. The hay loft is now a nice light room where I listen to my old records and sort out my projects.


Ted loves to watch the rabbits, although I don't think that he would want to eat one. Funny how the cats love to eat (wild) rabbit, but show no interest in our pet rabbits.
