More than 99 percent of the lots of rental properties and farms dotted in the forest are on mains electriicty and most boast cooling and high-speed web too, provided either by fibre optic cable or satellite.

Judging by photos published by Adam on Facebook in their airy kitchen with a high vaulted ceiling, the family won't do not have any mod cons in the home.

'Honestly, I do not think I can ever forgive individuals accountable, although we have actually striven to forget about it, and them, as rapidly as possible.'

She included: 'This was adding insult to serious injury and bearing in mind my steady decrease in health normally, I was really starting to misery.'
