We have experience of a self build home with a ground source heat pump, solar pv and thermal, a thermal store and a heat recovery/ ventilation system. U/f heating downstairs, big radiators upstairs - system running all the time. Very economical and warm. HPs need a whole house approach.

Happy birthday Annie. I've booked the Aurora for this evening to light your way πŸ˜‰...at least that's what the man in the moon assured me

"Minnesota" - Marsh Family adaptation of "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair)"

We hope the good people of #SanFrancisco will forgive us for adapting a song about their city in 1967 to address the shocking and tragic events in #Minnesota in recent weeks. This is dedicated to Renée Good and Alex Pretti, and in solidarity. Our version is called "Minnesota" ❀️

Do you think he hovers about the BBC entrance until someone says, ah well, seeing as you're here...

And it didnt appear on my "continue listening" feed last night either. Someone forgot to push a button. I had to go via the daily schedule. Tut.

I've still got my post office savings bank book, and I've been camping in Switzerland...twice.

Did you evict David Cameron first? And that kitty looks determined!

I think that officially counts as an "installation" and so would be eligible for the Turner Prize.

We have loved watching you race Simon, especially as a fellow Lancastrian. Very best wishes for whatever you choose to do next.

Happy New Year Annie and Rob! From the Vale of Evesham - where the tomatoes grow under the Northern Lights.

Sorry to be a nay sayer here but I found this bubble week to be really boring. The 3 house sharers are just annoying and there's no sense in Leonard going into a house with norovirus rampant. The only high spot was Lawrence and his heart attack, which wasnt really followed up properly. Sorry Keri.

Gorgeous morning at the RSC in Stratford. Even the Swans of Avon were showing off!

But well done Leonie, rescuing a full grown sheep off a cliff face in the pitch dark, wearing her Jim-jams and fluffy mule slippers...( that's Leonie, not the sheep)

Another area where you may need to provide paperwork is the origin of savings that you put towards a house purchase. We started way back with tax free savings accounts ( TESSAs etc) and were really struggling to prove that our savings had built up over many years. Maybe keep a year end statement?

In almost every example outfit, the cheapest item is the one used for gardening! In my outfits of choice, even when new, it is the other way round!

Looking forward to reading this, as one of the few people ( I should think) who have been on holiday in Mashhad. Age 17, to stay with a school friend whose father worked for a local Electric company. What has stayed with me is the scenery, bazaar and the food - especially the fresh naan bread.
