        Thanks Michael,..I was living way out in the countryside prior to moving in here in 2004,..got a great deal from the local Council,..i have the cottage for life at 25euros per week,.. for life,..no rise in rent ever,..they complete upgrades free as the country dictates,..like insulation,..double glazing,..heating,..however i maintain the interior of the cottage.

        Not overlooked at the front.

                I suffer badly from insomnia, I'm often wide awake in the early hours and always up early too.
