Just catching up with the list messages and now I find my screen has gone

Number 1 feature when house-hunting for the current place was cat-safe.
We've ended up relatively in the boonies to achieve that, and now the cats
have to lower their tails when ducking under the neighbours' electric
fence. No it's not a prison but a paddock.
Trust you have a least one good photo - now you have a reason for doing some
enlargements.
