    Don't worry guys - I like bats. Was even involved in a conservation project in my youth where I had to catch and ring them :cool

    Bats have phones? :eek:

    Our old rented house had historic evidence of bats in the roof which were discovered when they wanted to redo roof. Cue a couple of strange blokes sat in our garden at dawn and dusk for a few days observing the ins and outs of our roof :D

    I admire the way you have made such an effort to make friends in your new area.

    Your doggie adventures have inspired me and I can't wait until I can have one of my own :)

    Love cheese and wine :)

    Hoping I'm turning a corner with it now though because it's very, very, very boring :mad:
