Sometimes Nigel’s imagination is just a little too on the fertile side ……….
…….. his latest theory is that the open fields opposite Hugh’s cottage could possibly offer the optimum conditions for an encounter of the second and possibly the third kind …….
……. proffering a measured remoteness from civilisation (i.e Malvern and Worcester) to observe from a safe distance, have a stretch, explore their surroundings a little and perhaps even collect samples of a scientific type nature, like plants and maybe even a couple of sheep.
However, said theories have a habit of biting Nigel on the bum, when he realises that said encounters may just be a bit too close for comfort as far as Hugh’s cottage is concerned. Would other beings from another world not be tempted to investigate such isolated dwellings, knowing that there would be little likelihood of anyone disturbing them, other than the potential occupants? To misquote from the film Alien “In space (or a remote cottage) no one can hear you scream”!
This probably also explains why the little fella has insisted, illogically, on keeping the landing light on but the bedroom door closed all night while we’ve been away. What is he like?

If aliens "collect samples of a scientific type nature, like plants and maybe even a couple of sheep," then, I hope they don't decide to take some small monkeys, too.
"To misquote from the film Alien “In space (or a remote cottage) no one can hear you scream”!" You shouldn't be able to hear when space ships blow up, either. Ask Tom the Scientist for an explanation.
P.S. I forgot to mention your reference to the wonderful Carpenters: "Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft."
