I am considering sending it to my Mum, I made this map of her childhood village,Glapthorn,last year, I made it the old fashioned way, I found maps of the village, some dating back to the 1950's, then drew it on graph paper, 'No computer was harmed in the making of this chart' :lol:
Anyway, this has a very similar feel to the village, lots of trees and old houses, I think my Mum would like it :D

I gave her the map last year, she was so happy :D she knows every inch of that village and the surrounding fields, and I made sure the house she lived in is on it.
Thank you for your very nice comments :wub:
