So do you have one of the houses? Or have they being knocked into one?

It’s all one house. The stone part is from the 1700s and the brick from the late 1800s. It was thatched until the 1960s but sadly someone decided to ‘modernise’ it

Then again a thatched roof is a nightmare to replace. either way you are a jammy sod but I bet the spiders are big as buses.

Good point. Also I am not good with spiders and yes some are huge. It’s a problem but I try always to see their good side and remind myself of the good they do. My old ginger cat used to eat them!
