I know its about the rebuilding cost but, house prices here have gone bonkers. A 3 bedroom detached property here is now advertised on average at £950,000. I wouldn't have a hope in hell if I was a young man starting out here in the channel islands now of buying a home.
Not just the channel islnads. The one bed, ex council flat my daughter rented in Brixton for £1,350 a month was worth £330,000. If you can't afford a one bed flat, where DO young folk get on the property ladder? Especially if you factor in : https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-62237170
Top marks to South West Water, our water will be cut off tomorrow so they brought me this, I’d rather not have had it TBH, more plastic bottles, I could have run ours into jugs and bottles, but at least they brought it just in case. Would really have been rude to refuse. They know I’m just a weak and feeble old lady😀

Absolutely @Hostafan1. The turning of private homes into investments for the well heeled and investment companies encouraged by governments providing cheap money to the banks and ultra low interest rates is nothing short of criminal for the young people of today who have literally no chance to enjoy the chances that our generation had.

Love it, Lyn! Courtesy water! My reason to be cheerful is that it is actually raining here! Sitting by the open window listening to it, and smelling the dampness of the ground. Hope it carries on for a while.
It worked! I left my washing out overnight and there's a soft drizzly rain this morning. We take what we can get here. Sacrificial washing could end the drought.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
