Mise Tales Forty-One
For an update on what a Mise Tale is then please see Mise Tales One. As mentioned earlier on the front page of my website, any photos or cartoons, or short bits of information, when it is removed from the front page, will also be included again later in the next Misc Tales. That way you can keep track of it, search for it, or copy it.

The properties are set within a castle style walled courtyard with breath taking views of the sea, where you may also notice the odd dolphin swim by.
According to estate agents Williams & Goodwin the properties were recently renovated by the current owners.
They said the gross income for the two cottages currently stands at £42,000 pa, with greater potential should the main house also be let.
