Simple? you have to be kidding!
Anyway, there we were in the cold and rain and I was still none the wiser. Mystified I watched as Brian borrowed a chainsaw and lurched off into some scrub at the top of the cliff. Several sorry looking bushes later the chain flew off "don't worry, I've got an up to date chainsaw ticket" He said, and hit the kill switch. "It's gonna go from here all the way down there see" right.
Down the bottom it was much the same story but no chainsaw. Still none the wiser we talked about handing over a deposit, Brian rolled up his sleeves and went to work. I slipped off to figure out how to get the money to pay for all this. Lots of huffing and puffing in the Quarry, lots of fast talking on my mobile in the garden.
Eventually I had a plan:
"Darling, you know our mortgage isn't all that big when you think about it?"
My plan was to wing it from there.
" Ok but if you screw this one up and lose the house I'm gone"
Hmmm....

Back to Cornwall with the loot ASAP. Even patient, understanding, inspired and inspiring Brian had by this stage started to run low on goodwill but I got the first payment in just in time to realise we now had to drag the cables across the lake...
