Especially if you fell on that tarmac'd playground (not too sure if that would have been there in 1930s Tykeland, either). If it was, there would undoubtedly have been a cricket pitch marked out on it, with the stumps at the batting end chalked onto the wall of the building.

I've never been to Ayton (yet), but I'm beginning to like the look of it already.

Well they seem to have 'ad t'swimming lessons on t'tarmac!


But a good point about the cricket pitch markings - I shall add that to it.

Trial finish for the buildings, needs a bit of tidying up and window sills added, but what do you think?

Genius texturing.

That brickwork looks brilliant. I've been looking for wallpaper with that texture for ages......where did you find it (please, please don't let it be B&Q)?

Brilliant!

For EB, everything is a long way. From anywhere. Even a trip from the kitchen to the lounge with a bacon butty can be a six week adventure.
