@izzythepush,
" I take it you'll be moseying on down to your homestead "
Ha! Just seen this, Izzy, and sometimes wish that I could, but I've rented it out.
T'would be great to pop down the pub for a swift pint of Greene King, but there again, the weather is more predictable here with a guaranteed summer, and the open air markets can't be beaten for fresh produce.
I'll happily wait until the winter before quoffing a warm one or two....unless I decide to rent my place out for a while longer.
I must admit to getting a definite liking for bread, cheese, giant tomatoes, red wine and sunshine.
