I don't think we've been addressing Palustris by his proper title, from now on he must be the Lord of the Manor.

I don't see any marshes though...?

Remember my suggestion that he should charge for entrance?

Oh, well, us poor mortals will just have to struggle along in our modest ways, and try to derive a little pleasure from it!! = Tim

PS - I see he had to sell the cars??

WOW.  Eric you have every reason to boast.  You have achieved a huge amount in a relatively short space of time.  Lots of elbow grease there. ;D

Now that IS strange!  :o . One photo i can see fine (the after one) the other - nothing!  >:(

I am sure it shows a difference and proves your statement corrrect eric - just cant see it!!

Perhaps someone who CAN see the first picture would like to describe the scene to me.

By the way Eric, how did you get hold of airbourne photos of your 'estate'( ;D) ?

Grrrrr! I dont believe this thing. Soon as i post the message the other photo appears. Cancel previous request re description of before photo

PS I would love to do what you have done. When i win the lottery i will buy a large plot like that and create the garden of my dreams - which is of course what it is, a dream as it will never happen!

OK Tim if you REALLY insist!  ;D

You'll have to wait until i get the time to scan the 35mm pics onto the computer. Then I'll have to find a new picture storage site to link from seeing as HPphoto are going to stop us doing so.

But be patient I'll find a way!
