Zombie Continues Her Shuffle Into Spring

[IamtheZombie]

New season, new thread. The previous thread can be found here.

All are welcome.

3 more.

We're getting there...

Last 3!!

Criminy. That really looks like a gin smuggling tunnel!

Oh my goodness, looks as though it's an old cellar, hope they have made it safe now Zombie.
I was hoping for Roman villa, like the chap in Wiltshire found in his garden!

It may be a cellar, All, but not for the current house. This house was built in 1799 on the site of an old manor house which partly burnt down in the 16th C. Those ruins were removed when the current house was built.

Blimey

Hope there's no bodies down there (yet) unless there's a certain exh that you'd like to bury in which case it looks like there's room

Any speculation as to what it might have been? My immediate thought was bomb shelter but that's probably because I now live in what was the most heavily bombed borough of London during WW2. My GPs had an Anderson shelter at the bottom of their garden which they wouldn't let us nosy kids near...

What's the plan?

This house was built in 1799 on the site of an old manor house which partly burnt down in the 16th C.

No it wasn't. You just don't want us getting any credit for the archaeological finds / loot /gin stashes / smugglers' tunnels / pirates' treasures that get found.

You want it all for yourself.

Wow, how exciting and interesting. Obviously used for something illegal !!! There may be a stash of something buried down there. I think Lord Lucan may be hiding out there too !! Do I get the reward ?
Have you got to pay for all thus work Zombie ! The gold coins will cover it !

Wow! How fab to be part of such an interesting bit of history Zombie.

Perhaps it was burnt down during the Civil War? Have you ever checked out the records for the site at the County Archives Office, or run over the site with a metal detector?
At the very least I think you need to run a geo-phys survey (or maybe I've just watched too much Time Team! ).

I love time team.
At least the lovely zombie is keeping us updated. Not like the lady with the victorian safe

Haha, I like married's idea!

Have shovel, will travel.

It looks like drainage to me, would make a lovely piscine sauvage

FidGirl here, along with the true reason for the mysterious holes- they're superintelligent moles who are coincidentally also gin swilling pirates.
Hope you're well and don't get attacked by freaky moles with eye patches.

Lots of love, FidGirl

FidGirl, I am honoured. If it is freaky moles, I'm ready for them!

Much love, many hugs and more kisses from your ZombieGodMother™.

That child should be in bed.

Brick laying, gin swilling moles, you may have something important there FidGirl

What was the decision on the hole Z?

The hole is now an ex-hole.

NOT that kind of "ex".

It's been filled in, gravel raked back into place and you'd never know it was there.

Fingers crossed all will be ok tomorrow Zombie X

Oh that must be reassuring.

Will be thinking of you tomorrow.

How are you zombie?
And how are the rest of you ginaholics?
I'm meant to be weaning DS2 off the dummy, put his big sister is determined to let him keep it

Aw, Owl (can't call you Fatty) - makes me nostalgic for the baby years, lovely small Owl there.

Mind you I think teenagers are toddlers in larger bodies & with mobile phone bills.

Teenagers are definitely giant toddlers I have a 14 year old brother and he's pretty much on the same wavelength as DD who's 2. Can be really kind and helpful, but prone to tantrum if things don't go their way.

Hope all goes well for you today Zombie, thinking of you

What a lovely photo Owl, and what a fab hairdo your DD has!
