Dan and Denise's Workshops;
Fiddler's Cottage and Barren Grove Garages
Although Dan and Denise have a room which links directly to their homeworld Riah Ten, to the right of the main hallway inside the Tea House, they also have their own little cottage in the grounds of the castle next to the car park, which goes by the name Fiddler's Cottage.
This is largely the main workshop area for Dan's inventions and Denise's passion for vehicle maintenance. It is a veritable treasure house of crazy contraptions and fantastic machinery.
Denise loves tools and machines that make lots of noise so Dan invented a patented "Raucous Noise Collector" out of a bucket and sponge fitted with an integrated sonic prism which absorbs the racket and turns it into something a lot more pleasant, like the distant chorus of children playing in a glade of daisies and buttercups. This enables anyone trying to enjoy a peaceful cup of tea in any other part of the garden to do so without impedance. This technology has such a great versatility of limitless variety in its ambient output that personal requests for whirling winds and dragonsong from Hathgarr, seagulls and crashing waves of surf against the sands of Devon and porridge coming gently to the boil are not uncommonly heard aural oddities emanating from the castle as people pass by.
Dan and Denise also have most of the garages up the inner road from the cottage, loaded to the gills with tanks and differing emergency vehicles which they use when needed to help out in rescue missions, wherever and whenever required. Oxton-On-The-Wold residents are familiar enough with the sound of warning klaxons heralding the sudden onslaught of garage doors flying open in unison and an array of large and hugely improbable machines setting off from the Barren Grove driveway toward ventures unknown.
