The gravel X just needs half of it turned the other way up, then it'd be perfect for Jim, no? (Two big inverted V shapes, arranged one above the other)

Garden idea - depends how much you enjoy messing about with a lawn mower (I do), but a big expanse of grass suits grandkids running about I'd have thought.

Nice seeing the Saxo earning it's keep, as usual :)

Love that plan Matt... Double Chevrons in my garden... Perfect!

I'm not a fan Matt... Keen to have my garden both maintenance-free and grandchildren friendly

She's a great workhorse Matt :D

Just a hint of changes happening soon ;)

Scarily easy online - it took all of two minutes and I already have the authorisation document to have the replacement plates made up - which has to be done within three days!

I'm saying no more just yet as things are still somewhat fluid...

I remember watching that film at the cinema when it was first released :)

The best beach scene of them all: Ursula Andress in Dr. No :-D

Never actually watched it.

Or your video, thought it was just a blurry photo.

How dare you call my technically advanced soft focus 'blurry' ? Where's your sophistication gone Steve? You'll be telling me the King didn't have new clothes next!! :-D

Blurry is what mine are, there is no 'intentional soft focus', just blur.

You've hit the nail on the head there Steve. Mine wasn't intentional, hence me calling it technically advanced because my phone did it all on its own!! :-D

Our phones must be twins separated at birth.
Mine does precisely what it wants and that rarely coincides with what I want.
Videos, selfies, multiple shots, selfie videos urrrgh.
