Please note
There are sometimes people (either myself or tradespeople) working around the property: chopping wood, planting & protecting trees, strimming, repairing walls, etc. I try to make sure that this does not happen too close to the house while guests are there, but please excuse any tradespeople who have not fully got the message.
