I could take them down the scrappy and get wonga for them.<br /><br />They'll have to be cut up into manageable lengths first though, so if you come across one of my fences, could you snip it into lengths of no more than a few feet please?<br /><br />I've already started on the ones I have come across.<br /><br />Nice walk, btw.<br />:-)Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-3773810499229143632012-07-16T12:07:08.210+01:002012-07-16T12:07:08.210+01:00It was, at times, hard going but some times persis...It was, at times, hard going but some times persistence pays off!
