Use whatever fruits you like, pour over a good swig of cointreau and leave to soak - yummmm

Hi Jacks Yes, I agree, an alarm would be totally useless unless someone is around to hear it. Luckily we're in the middle of nowhere, so can't think that a child could venture near. also have whole property fenced with gated drive.

Cris You do realise that you don't have to have a fence or wall etc to comply with the law? As long as you have one of the safety devices that conform, ie a fence, or an alarm or a safety cover thats OK. My pool is in a similar position to yours so we're getting an alarm ( yes, I know the problems!) and not letting our gite to anybody with children under the age of 5 years, just for our own peace of mind. Good luck with whatever you decide.
