I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

Very cool Mr Barney :Thumb:
Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish

Plenty of timber around here if you want to pop down to Surrey, Barney?



There was three trees down just going North out of the village today!



I was a little concerned that you'd branched out into lingerie at first there, then I remembered what pva was......

:Hat: Lovely tubes Barney
Not a fish was visible that first time I visited Beechmere; an utter
stillness brooded over the place and I felt the strange and sinister atmosphere which, so the story goes,
has been the cause of several suicides.’
