A Hard Winter

[Megatron]

Hi all, haven't been on here for a while but it's good to get back on line.

As to the above subject I have just purchased in my opinion the ideal house which is making me like a kid on Xmas eve.
It's in the country side, has duel fuel heating ( wood/oil ), solar panels for water heating, is surrounded by mature British woodland which just happens to be full of food animals such as deer, rabbit, birds etc. Also within 15 minutes walk through the woodland is an area is a privately owned area used for water foul shooting. The best thing I think was a complete surprise to me but it turns out there's a well at the bottom of the garden which has been checked and the water is clean enough to drink straight out of.
More importantly it turns out that no one uses the woodland and what's better is that its got a large population of slow worms and grass snakes so even the local gov won't go near it not even to fell trees etc and that equals endless supply of wood.
I will follow up with more detail when I move in and let you guys know more and I think I'm gonna need a lot of advice to improve things.
