Bloody Hell!

Though, I wouldn't consider the countryside not boring, but it's still my favourite place to be.

Thats fine by me. Keeping our nice country roads quiet suits me down to the ground

i think this seems to be the main point of the story...

To help Brits rediscover their country’s free rural attractions, Travelodge is offering over half a million, £19 and £29 rooms in rural locations across the UK.

Anyone identify these then?
No prizes for getting the right answers.
Except to know you are a good old country boy ....

One can be found in the UK
Both can be found in Europe.

Mainly eating my bloody apples...

My nephew (16)
Thought the first one was a cat.......

Nearly right.
Second one is a Pine Marten
it's bigger than a Stoat, can grow to 50cm long with the tail being half as long again.

The first one is came into Europe and was keeped like a cat to keep rodents at bay.

Answer a little later. unles someone guesses it.

First one looks a bit racoon-ish?

Edit: bit of wiki/google-fu.

Is is a Genet?

Give that man a cigar.
Yup Genet it is.

My nephew was nearly right with cat.
It is related to the cat family.
brought into Europe from North Africa by the Spanish
Although fairly rare, can be found in all parts of Europe.
