Oh gosh....it seems to have worked...thanks, Tony...x
When I bought my last house I inherited a man......he and his wife lived over the back but she was very, very houseproud and didn't want him messing up the house all day when he retired.
So he moved into one of the barns at the bottom of our garden....complete with a cat flap for a cat he adopted for company....
He cooked on the little fire in the barn and was a really happy soul....☺
