I wouldn't even ask where you found that, but I'd say a very pale shadow of Shirley Bassey's whiskey?

Thought someone might ask, its just a big house and garden (hes done all these strange things with concrete flower beds etc). BTW, the shiny white bit at the back is my conservatory, must have been sunny that day, dont remember that.

Well, if you point at the location in GEarth and click the "stickypin" (add placemark", it should do it for you.

and in google maps the easy way is to right click on the bit of the map you want coordinates for and select "directions to" (or from). This opens a dialogue box on the left with the coordinates in a text bax. You can now just copy and paste them :)

And a very nice countrified place yours is too, lots of trees, & greenery, I love that....in answer to your previous question, I had actually forgotten that there is a ex-Church behind me, which is the building I think you asked about?...Its an old Catholic Church, dating back to the 1800's, (build in 1879, I think, which is not all that old), owned by a Puppet Master in the 70-80's called Eugene Lambert, bought by some Austrians in the 90's, converted into a beautiful and spacious house, as you can imagine, marble floors, underfloor heating, Nth. of luxury, the bell tower has a view only to be wished for, it has a studio there...anyway, to make a long story longer, its now a private Art Gallery...We've been there several times for parties etc....luxury personified.........

Wow sounds lovely. I do love those Heritage properties. How the other half live eh!

Where we are is similar there are a lot of properties well over a couple of Mill. Getting invited to someone's house for a swim in their pool and a game of tennis certainly puts things into perspective. The village empties during the Summer as people head off to their retreats abroad - leaving house sitters, and us,  behind.
