Ferny Fern Fern from Ferntown proved great help today as the triffid like growths that have smothered the sides of the house was decimated today by yours truly, a set of extending tree loppers, a saw and a hammer. The hammer wasn't absolutely necessary but there as precaution as there were two goats loitering with intent and harsh words are not as effective as hammers as far as goats are concerned. Removing the foliage has made a great difference to the amount of light getting in to the cottage as the sunlight doesn't have to negotiate three foot of forest before illuminating the interior. We are having to wear sunglasses indoors while we get used to it. True to the rule of smallholding where one job is finished two more are created, we can now see the outside of the house needs painting and thanks to the absence of darkness within we can now see that some attention to the interior decor of the cottage is needed.
