    There were a couple of broken antique window panes to replace Marley.

    Today I was working in the village where my parents met as children.
    This is the cottage Dad grew up in and where his sister still lives.

    Auntie's garden is wonderful:)

    And I was named after the the Church's Saint in memory of their times in the village:)

    :thumb: Nice one Pal.. It must be really nice to have so many family memories & connections around you.. But it must also be hard sometimes if someone make some major changes to something you have fond memories of..

    :( I know when I go back to the New Forest where I spent a great deal of my childhood, conservation areas or not, it is wonderful to be back there & see it all, but every now & then something changes for the worst...!:( Still that's progress I suppose..!:)

    ;):thumb: The Cotswolds have allot of connections to Royalty & Gentry still & I think that is what helps to keep them nice..:thumb::thumb::thumb:
