After 9 years living in France, near Poitiers in the heart of the countryside, we've moved back to England. We are in Margate, within half a mile of the sea, in a small development of new houses...........David Sefton

Drama at Bas Etang
Our septic tank started to overflow, so we had it flushed out last week. It is supposed to be done every 4 years, though we last had it cleaned a year ago. So, as it was unusually premature we had to find out where the blockage was. A local farmer came to clean out the filter beds with his equipment, driven by his tractor. The firm that flushed the tank last week will not deal with the filter unles it is exposed by us. All our tanks and filters are under a flower bed, so we have to dig it up each time - unfortunately, we had not revealed the filter last week. Anyway, for your edification, here is the process pictured in all its glory.
