Fattyowls Posted 10 December , 2022 Author Share Posted 10 December , 2022 With Tom's record breaker am I right in saying we have four on the go, including three small ones possibly in the Picardy area. There is Richard and Michelle's one which used to have the cypress trees. two with interesting steps (or is that only one) and Tom's new one. Apologies for not keeping up, I am a bear of very little brain. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
