Very true Lady P, I would roam all over my village when I was growing up... Bratling is lucky if she's allowed to the corner shop alone.... it isn't that I fear the paedophile or the pervert, it's the mad boy racers, one of whom not so long ago collided with another car and mounted the pavement, taking out the enitre bay window of the house on the corner. I don't want her to be run over on the pavement.LTS
