A chap came round the houses in our last village selling framed photos of each house taken from an aeroplane. I haggled (the price he was asking was ridiculous) and in the end got it much cheaper without the frame. (After all, who else would want to buy it?) When we looked carefully at the photo, we could see a tiny white dot in the half-acre garden. It was Minty, out trying to catch birds. Caught in the act! The pic came in very handy when we sold the house. It gave a very good idea of the plot and the fields all around.
