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??

Well done Eric .A great deal of hard work and very well done.I think that the word splendid about sums it up.

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
Take time to stop and smell the flowers.

Equality isn't everyone being the same, equality is recognising that being different is normal.

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) ?

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!
