I always wanted the suspension bridge when I was a kid looking through Triang catalogues. Now I've got one. It is interesting how childhood dreams can drive us still.

Yes, but we are really grown up children at heart. Aren't we?

I have added a tree. It is homemade using twisted copper wire covered in plaster bandage, polyfilla, paint and lichen. I have never tried this before and am quite pleased with it. It disguises the sharp corner in the back scene and where the road vanishes.

An excellent first attempt, it looks really authentic.

Will we soon be seeing G&J trees for sale on e-bay :D

Thanks Maurice, I think I will need to make a few more before starting a business.
