"Mr. Mars, I think I've found another gem! You coming?" A resounding "Yes" and another mission is planned!
Days later we're racing down country lanes with Luckpants, getting completely lost and doubting the SatNav
that can't seem to find what needs to be found. We're lost in the wilderness. Driving around we start following a tractor
that leads us past an intriguing abandoned farmhouse. But that's another story. Onwards, further into the unknown
we accidentally happen across our quarry.
Expectations were high, and delivered, but what's that smell? Wandering through the hoarded detritus we head to the back
of the house to find a room filled with sheep carcasses and discarded bones. What an odd place.
Further exploration into the house revealed bagged up plastic bottles, tin cans, you name it, this owner kept hold of it.
Passing through the mass of collected recycling we made it upstairs.
Setting up my camera in one of the bedrooms, EasyTigger comes in and points to the top of the wardrobe. Man alive,
a stuffed bird perched in a nest! I move closer and the bird twitches it's head. My god, it's alive, and quickly darts out of
the broken window.
This house was absolutely full of terrible odours, mess and dead animals, but more evident were the remains of someone's
life. Books, toys, letters, furniture and perhaps most frighteningly a stuffed fox exactly matching the one in Sly Fox House!
A single visit to this place just wasn't enough, so a return with Mars Lander was arranged to reveal more detail. A further visit by Mars, Sshhhh...
and LuckyPants revealed a frightening secret. Something that would possibly mean that we could never return. But that's Mars' tale to tell...
Once again we came, once again we saw and by Odin we well and truly concurred! Please come with us and enter
THE BIRD HOUSE.
The three legged horse
A beautiful chest
Cluttered room
Personal possessions
A controversial character
The blue car
Seeing is believing
The blue room
Ornaments
Oh look, another sly fox. Don't tell anyone about this one!

Thanks for looking. Please don't ask me for the location. More posts soon.
