SOME people accuse students of being lazy, but the group of friends who built an elaborate treehouse on land near Bicester are not afraid of hard graft.

Dougie Haynes and his pals put in over 1,000 hours on the building project and the treehouse became a real home from home.

Unfortunately they will now have to seek shelter elsewhere due to the safety concerns of the landowner. It won’t be long before some of these youngsters follow Dougie into the building trade.
