Hahaha. Yeah, you did paint a tempting picture of Costwolds. I also had a look at house prices while I was there :). There was a museum "for sale" in Broadway that's probably cheaper than my current home haha.
Well, my squirrels are a little too smart for nets. I've seen them lift things neatly out of the way. I wouldn't be surprised if they simply dig a hole in the ground under the net 😂
