Rich being asked if he wanted a dog was an unusual request, but imagine my surprize when J asked him if he wanted a woman. I was 'talking' to M at the time, a local woman who will put our bin out every week.( Bin day is Tuesday, and sure enough she has put it out this week. ) It soon became clear that J was asking if we wanted a cleaner, and I became much more enthusiastic and encouraged Rich to agree. By this time, I realized that the house & garden are both quite large and I don't want to spend all my time cleaning and gardening when it is not my house. No sign of a cleaner yet, but a gardener has been to mow the orchard which is like a meadow. I thanked him;' multumesc '. There are lots of dandelions as in England, but there are other wild flowers of blue and yellow, plus lots of daisies. The garden is charming and there are lots of gardens which are simply orchards. Thousands of apple trees and no cider industry! Now there's a gap in the market!.
There is an electric garage door, but J said it shut once with him inside and it was like a horror film, so we agreed not to use it. ( It gave me a good idea for a story though! ). J is quite amusing.
The tour of the house included the shower room,the double bath and the very impressive plunge pool which is about 2 1/2 feet deep and has a rainfall shower centrally positioned in the ceiling! There is a bamboo filler tap (naturally) which has a round glass tap which also has a waterfall effect. There are lanterns all around the pool, which seats several people, but to fill it up with warm water apparently takes about 3 hours by which time the water won't be hot? If Rich wants to try the pool out one night after work, he will have to give me 3 hours notice!
Must go food shopping now. Ciao
