    Hey Mike, that's a really interesting piece, not seen anything like it before. Can you tell me what wood that roof tent is made from?

    Huge amount of fun....both making it and using it. Having an elephant walking by within 3 feet at night, or being woken by hippos.....just magic!

    With the nocturnal neighbours it must be " Aesculus Hippocastanum"

    What education? I was dragged up in Thanet! They never managed to knock my love of reading out of me though! It's the botanical name for Horse Chesnut to save people from looking it up. ( Oh living in greece for some time also helps with latin , strangely enough.)

    Sorry Sparky , Typo error on my part, got interrupted by herself when she came in from an after-work girls get together, a lame excuse for my tardiness in spelling but as close as is possible on this forum!
