31It was two hours later and nearly noon when David and Elaine finished looking around his cottage.%u201cLots of ideas you%u2019ve given to me. I love the extension. How much did it cost?%u201d She asked.%u201cAbout sixty thousand. I think you can get it cheaper if you have a felted roof. A tiled one pushes up the price a lot.%u201d He told her.%u201cA bit outside of my range yet,%u201d she replied.%u201cWould you like to see around my garden. It%u2019s one of my hobbies.%u201d%u201cYes, please. While the sun is still shining out there.%u201dHe took her outside. %u201cThere%u2019s not much left to see at this time of year, but in the summer, it%u2019s a private Eden.%u201d%u201cI can imagine. Do you use earth-friendly composts, fertiliser and pests controls?%u201cOf course. I even make my own fertiliser. Would you like to see?%u201d%u201cYes, please.%u201d%u201cIt%u2019s over there,%u201d he said pointing and taking her over. %u201cI put my food waste in the top here. And I take the fertiliser from there as a liquid.%u201dHe bent down and turned a tap. %u201cI can put weeds and things like nettles in too. I actually grow them in a small patch to make nettle soup in the spring and early summer months.%u201d%u201cWhat breaks it all down,%u201d she asked naively.He opened a door and slid out a tray telling her, %u201cThese.%u201dShe looked, her head whistled, and she fainted. He caught her before she hit the ground. He held her in his arms and knelt down, blowing gently onto her face. A minute later, she opened her eyes.%u201cWhat happened?%u201d She asked.%u201cYou fainted when I showed you the worms.%u201d%u201cWorms?! Oh, fuck, I think I%u2019m going to faint again.%u201dSpider
