    A wee bit less than an acre, I'd say, and a large chunk is pond.
    Surely, if it was a great bargain, it would have sold by now?

    I haven't quoted the link because you may want to remove it later. After years of not saying where anything is, Phillip Ling now supplies a map, which also shows pretty much where you are! :eek:

    The Petes of this world will always be busy. :)

    I was going to say this too, think its best Rozee to remove the link

    No, but I remember the dinosaur and was sorry to see him go.:(

    You'll notice that we are bang up to date with our metric measures around these parts. :D

    Have they stopped using yards in other parts of the country then? I think my last trip outside of the county was in 2010 & I can't say I noticed one way or another.

    MY OH gets a bit confused by the bilingual signs and finds it hard to find his way about LOL! He thinks they should put the English first. Which as you can imagine would go down a bomb with my Nash friends ;)

    Whilst on your news search did you see this one, Dave?

    I wonder what this Council would make of a sign in local village during the scarecrow festival?

    The lollypop had been covered with golden fabric to form a halo, the small sign extended with a stout stick and wreathed in sacking gathered at the "waist" with an old leather belt. Cannot remember if there was a head?

    The theme was pop songs and it raised a lot of laughs as well a wry smiles of appreciation for utility and simplicity.

    Goodness, you've been busy posting this morning!

    Tiffany looks very lissome, for a bronze sculpture :D

    Busy morning for us, with DS1 at station for 0715, followed by a trip to a cartographer and map comparisons with 17thC originals. Looks like we are the proud, if temporary, owners of 4 x 17th Century maps :j. If only condition were better, but I'll take originality over condition most days.

    Got back to find 2 cheques in the post, so its turning out ok so far this week :)

    Actually, now I look properly, I think she may be copper-bottomed. :o

    I rather liked her devil-may-care pose, compared with Verity's rather stern appearance. :)

    It certainly pays to keep active around here. Let the grass grow under your feet and you might end up like Torrington's other sculpture babe, Tonya, who suffered much the same fate as the 'Lady from Leeds' of limerick fame. A warning to us all, I think. ;)
