Andy,
A couple of photos of the salt marsh area where I go to test my engines.

The first one has a small island in the background with an ancient ruined castle on it . The castle is the building on the right hand side.

This is Piel Island and has it's own king !!!!

The landlord of the pub (there is only a pub and a few houses on the island) is known as the King of Piel and he can make people into Knights of Piel.

The ceremonies for creating a new king or a knight involve a very old helmet and sword and a lot of beer being poured over the persons head !!! They also have to sit in a VERY old wooden chair that reputedly came out of the castle originally. The chair stands in the pub and anyone going in and sitting in it has to buy everybody in their a drink [X(]

I forgot I had these photos. They were taken this year when visitors came to stay with us.
