A Stack of Rosemary Beetles

And with that our house viewings are done. 58 viewings in total, over the last 9 days - or if you like, at 29 hours, more than a full day of showing people round our house and answering questions about everything from the heating system to the chickens.

Knackered. But tomorrow we'll see what the offers look like (and after that on Thursday what George's offers look like).

The fact our own purchase isn't going ahead is a minor speed bump (long story, but basically instead of answering questions on the water supply, i.e. is the private supply sufficient for the existing buildings, or will another bore hole have to be drilled, they demanded a £20,000 non-refundable deposit....). We'll be back to viewing properties for ourselves from.... tomorrow early evening!
