All my work is rural and the views are breath taking. It just makes the job very rewarding.

I did a posh house in Shirenewton today; indoor swimming pool, underfloor heating; granite kitchen worktops, electric entrance gates, stables; but they have two dogs that poo everywhere.

Poo is just not limited to working-class homes.

I think we're all lucky, those of us who live along or by the Wye Valley.

I love the place; I have a dog who needs walking; so I get out to enjoy the place frequently, whether I like it or not.

Roy likes it though, 'cos there's lots of rich people round here!  ;)

So that house in Penault, the one in the picture; posh looking place; does the owner have any dogs or a burglar alarm?

Just wondering.

Is that the name of it next to the picture?
Interestingly i live in surroundings very similar to that (well i don't mean live) there are a lot of sooper dooper country houses very close to my area. The trouble is someone else cleans them all i think because i haven't picked many up. How do you go about getting this work?

Yes it is the name, Ive been cleaning this one about 24yrs now, great people.

When I started in our town there was only 2 main window cleaners. So I went out into the rural areas and canvased the villages. And now have a lot of nice jobs.

You have to drive 3-4 mins beetween jobs.

I've done well this year in three affluent country areas (Llangum, Llansoy, and Shirenewton; for the local lads) and all of them came to me by way of recommendation.  My smallest account is in Llansoy and that's £20.  It adds upto three-days work for us; all of it is every-other-month; but I do look forward to this part of my round.

It gets boring after 11 years though!
I've got over 3 day's work in Shirenewton alone.

Thankyou!

No I don't I've two on the main drag, not far from the end of the villaige and I do a farmhouse just outside of Llansoy on a narrow road that leads to Llangum.
