Spent last night in an AirBnB, off-grid cabin in Cardiganshire. It's called The Love Shack.
They even had some willow-weave fencing, like the arbour Hay and her sister created in our garden. Seems to be the "in" thing.
The interior was much like a pioneer cabin from the American West - bijou yet comfortable. I had my banjo at the ready....
A composting loo too.
Capped off by a somewhat innovative DIY hot-tub. The old gas cylinder on the right is the source of the furnace, which heats an old cast iron bath and the exhaust goes up the chimney.
Hay managed to get a wild swim in too on the River Tefi.
Interesting house in the background - it's derelict, but work has been done on the outside and the gables to protect is and it has been like that for 3 years. However, there was some flooding of the river a few years ago and the level rose such that the water lapped around the base of the house. The owner is probably wondering what to do about flood defence before putting a full roof on and making it habitable.
