We had just moved into the restored blackhouse located to the rear of the garden at the back of our flat. My first task was to chase the swarm of five bees around the sitting room and kitchen and out the back door. There I stumbled on to the patio and a vast area of scrub land. I had no idea that we had purchased an estate along with the building. There was another blackhouse (ruined), a barn, and a mixed herd of the tiniest miniature Shetland ponies and sheep. TPR would have his work cut out looking after all this.
