I think that photo was probably taken about ten years ago, going by what washing is hanging on the line. :D :wink:


If you try Google Map I think you can get in a fraction closer than with Google Earth...??
www.google.co.uk then the new map link and satellite image...it works for some areas better than others..but in OH case and also for my works the coverage is good...by my reckoning it is a 2005 image??

Hello Old H,
Perhaps the map is made up of different sections of different years..??...as the Google Map one of my works is we think 2005.??. as we can be seen to be half way through the move of our fruit cage...a few other facts came to light also...
....one, that I made a botch of getting my row of Goosegogs straight.!!:oops: :wink:

OH, if the lady stalkers and welsh spy-in-the-sky operation get a bit too much for you I can lend you my caravan as a suitable anonymous bolt-hole, just mow the lawn while you're there and we'll call it quits. :lol:

Dear Jopsy, it's probably just as well you never had a camera with you, can you imagine if the bloke had asked you why you were taking his photo, you would have had to say, you look like someone i don't know. :? :lol: :wink:

Thanks for the offer Peter. :D
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.
