It shows the TRIKE parked outside our house! But it dates from when we had a long clothesline, not a rotary one. But I can see the skylight and the tree at the end of the garden and the TRIKE! I am so impressed.

Admittedly all I can see of the trike is the red blur, but it's too big to be the bin, so the trike it is. (For anyone who knows our postcode, we're on the north side of the street and Google shows a red car parked outside our house).

ETA: My friend had the paddling pool and garden trampoline out that day! Ahh!

Ooooooh! I must find your postcode and look later on! :-D

And, using Google's scale, it looks like our garden is about 10m x 3.5m, and the house is 3.5m x maybe 9m, plus 3m x 2.5m (twice, obv, for two floors). I keep meaning to measure it up properly and find out - not least so I can investigate floor covering costs. 78m sq then, unless I can't do sums, which is possible. Plus 35m sq of garden. Wow. Suburban living wastes SO much space. I must measure up and see if it's true.

Found it! How exciting, I've seen your trike! *grin* You have a lovely big garden, compared to our little yard (if you know our postcode which I think you do, we are on the south side of our street, the end terrace at the.. erm... east end of the terrace block. I can see our pale blue car parked outside the house! :-D

I love that. I can see my car and my neighbor's car, and I like to pretend the little black speck is my cat.

http://maps.live.com/ is also a good one especially for a birds eye view

Yes, you can see me digging the garden on that. Well, a blur which I know to be me digging the garden!

If its the house I think it is then you can clearly see a figure in the garden. that is amazing.

My car is in the drive, so you should be able to spot it.
