All very good points, which I'm will strike me when I do next get down there. It has always been a pleasure getting to it. P'raps some things shouldn't be so easy after all.
I quite liked it all gorsey how it was, too. And picking your way through the mud wondering if you were ever going to get there, down that little path. Oh well. I'm sure it'll grow over again soon enough and look a bit less stark.
