Wasn't too sure at first, especially when I saw the forerunner shown
as some sort of example - didn't like that one at all.
As it turned out, the one in the programme was a delight, and the
occupants (and their neighbours) came across as non-pitas.
There's a similar (but smaller) larch box on the south coast near me
and it's a total blot on the landscape - looks like a packing case
toppled over. The Skye-house architect managed to avoid that
particular pitfall, I'm glad to say.


What was a shame however, given that they kept blatting on about how
beautiful the views were, was the bloody great windmills a couple of hundred
yards away. I noticed that they were careful to show them as little as
possible.

Did anyone hear Vine on radio 2 at lunchtime today ? They were debating wind
vs nuke now that the Japs in the form of Hitachi have come on the scene to
get involved with the British project. Vine came out with a typically
hysterical statement that the fissionable material is so dangerous that if a
golf-ball sized piece was put at the centre of a football field, you'd be
dead before you had managed to walk out of the goal mouth. Where do they get
this crap from ?
