Thanks Things progressing a bit slow ATM as winds are a bit strong. Have put the 6 vents together and the louvres (no glass yet). Watch this space.

I have others in the garden connected to the roof gutters, but I will be getting more and hopefully connecting them all together.

Just about the largest g/h that would fit in the space as recommended by everyone, especially Mike! Took a new house in order to get this, maybe you could convince your missus the same.

Hi just a question, I am down in Dartmoor and it's a four hour drive, is getting there around 12 to 1pm OK? Thanks! 

That's OK, but the open day finishes at 2.30pm (hence the football question), so you'll only have an hour or 2 there. If you're after some of Mike's sale plants I'd get there as early as possible!

Book by Tim Bailey & Stewart McPherson "Dionaea, The Venus's Flytrap" has descriptions and photos of many of the available cultivars. Don't know if it's still available, though. Try Redfern's website.
