Thanks for the excellent link Mr W.
A number of us were the recipients of Cougie’s legendary hospitality in 2009, although we were unable to meet Val as she was too ill. A remarkable woman, her priceless legacy is this extraordinary and idyllic way of living enjoyed by her family. Their hugely positive outlook is kept up despite such obstacles as the less-than-generous power supply company.

Thanks for the recommendation, enjoyed watching the you tube programme. I have never met Val myself but they do seem a lovely family. Good to hear too that they are carrying on in their support of the challenge.
