    So where are the cats ??

    I spotted one in the living room, but I'm not sure it'd be using the scratching post...
    Looks more like a cuddly toy to me.

    Her courage will change the world.

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    Looked at the first photo and though perhaps non-traditional construction (Wimpey no-fines ?). But would need to do it bit more digging to be certain.

    I think the house may be too old to be Wimpey "No Fines"
    Post WWII. OS maps suggest it was built around 1945. Maybe not a Wimpey house, but certainly around the time when alternative construction methods were being adopted.

    Judging by its appearance I thought it was 1920s/30s, but if it is post WW2 then it could be WNF. But unlike Airey houses (and similar) when the VOA were valuing council houses for RTB, as far as I can remember WNF were never considered to be "defective dwellings"

    If I had their car, I might be tempted to sit in the drive and admire it.  What do we reckon?  Volvo P1800 or something else?  (I'm not certain).

    Jaguar xj6 - probably a coupe, judging from street view. And the house position/sunshine explains the seating.

    That looks like  the infamous "Beast of Briarigg", Well spotted, looks deceptively small there at a distance but has startled many an unwary traveller in the dead of night. Report to the authorities so they can inform the locals to close up and keep children and sheep safe inside.
