How great to hear from someone living in the wonderful (if exhausting!) Kellet Cottage. It is the best news I have had in ages and I am thrilled to hear from you! I have indeed been watching you (and another - your son/Dad perhaps?) working the exhausting task of sorting out that lovely old cottage all summer, with great interest. The new flagging on that courtyard and front path, and especially fitting those slabs round the manhole cover, must have been an absolutely thankless task. Have today closed up my caravan on the site after a week of torrential rainfall right up until yesterday night, and returned to Manchester - a three and half hour journey because of the flooding - but wonderful sunshine for my return trip today so I can't complain too much... Would love to talk about the cottage - especially as my old Mum (you must have met her when purchasing as she was the one responsible for the selling side of things when Prof.Addison died) has fantastic recollections and all the detailed back-history logged four generations deep, in her mind! I will give you my email addy so that we could perhaps correspond outside of this arena if that is easier for you? I am sure no-one else is particularly interested to read detailed info about difficulties with the boundaries between the garage and the septic tank! LOL! I am

and I think we 'met' very briefly during the summer when I held one of my toddlers up to see over the wall on our way to catch the train to Millom - you were deep in reflagging if I remember correctly! I'd love to hear from you about your progress on the cottage when you have time, all my very best childhood memories are based there... Talk soon hopefully. Thx. Keiva.
