The piece with ELEC on was not long after Blundellsands Sailing Club, right on the front where the rubble meets the sand. The TRICITY bit was almost at the Coastguard Station at Burbo Bank up on the grass at the top right near the edge where it is falling down onto the beach. They were nice bits of stone. Love seeing type in stone.

lol no chance its on my doorstep, so Ill keep the collection on the beach for now. I live in a 2nd floor flat with the most formidable stairs Ive ever seen, Im happy to wait till I have a garden and even then they will be used to make something. Over the course of a year the only things Ive collected is about 4 sacks of coal off the beach by filling a 20 liter rucksack. I havnt even got a stove to burn it on yet

No I loved ours, used to get it all cleaned out in the morning and set it up for the evening, then when we got in it was all ready to light!!! The best is getting it going enough on Xmas eve so it's still burning in the morning. Dont think santa liked it much though

I hate taking the ash pan out of mine..... it's like a game of Russian Roulette to get to the bin with it!! Brilliant when it's burning though
