Remember I did mention the fengshui of this cottage is not that wonderful? Well here it is:
The entrance to the the cottage faces the rubbish dump! The aroma from this big green tin can sometimes drift into our rooms.... hmm...
The balcony opens into the laundry line! Golly! 
Every so often we are greeted by the colours of different national flags.
These two combination I believe blocks the flow of qi... bugger.
