That's as maybe, however, EAST Anglia has that designation for a very good reason.

only possible problem could be that the cats want to bury their poo. (i learned that, when i thought, that cat-litter would look good as ballast)
there are different ways.
i just mark the text, i want to react to with the mouse - a tag "reply" appears.
clicking that tag, the quote is in the answering window.
one or two lines below i write my comment.
if i want to answer to different topics, i go back to the post i am answering to, mark, click, answer - rinse and repeat.

No, a few Ford Anglias, but only 1 East Anglia, and that area is about as stretchy as a LGB ruler
Might be musket shot, or bottle stoppers

Fortunately not - it was Wessex, but there's little observation of that are now ................ Hampshire, Wiltshire, Dorset and Somerset. It's where King Alfred burnt his cakes
One of the best known stories in English history is that of King Alfred and the cakes. Children are taught the story where Alfred is on the run from the Vikings, taking refuge in the home of a peasant woman. She asks him to watch her cakes – small loaves of bread – baking by the fire, but distracted by his problems, he lets the cakes burn and is roundly scolded by the woman.
When and where was this supposed to have taken place?
By 870 AD, all the independent Anglo-Saxon kingdoms except Wessex had been overrun by the Vikings. East Anglia, Northumbria, and Mercia had all fallen and now the Vikings were preparing to attack Wessex.

Ah, I think that worked. Quotes. I'm on a phone and it's a quotation mark symbol at the top. The rules say not to quote everything as I suppose it uses more space in the system.
Cat litter for ballast definitely not my plan
They like bare earth and there's a lot of room all round, so I'm not concerned.Thanks for the help! I'll be starting a thread or finding a suitable existing one when I have some photo's to add (not of cats though!).
Welcome to the forum Ben, yes lots of battery conversions reported on in here. My garden line has been exclusively battery for a few years now with my first conversion back in around 2006 or 7. Noting that you are in the thinking/planning stage do you have a theme in mind? Having one and sticking to it can be a big help in saving making long term wrong purchases because they look nice. We have all done it, some live with it but others regret it as do I some of those purchases that do not rightly fit into my East German Harz line theme dated 1981.

No. There WAS an area known as Wessex. Wessex, was actually an ancient Anglo-Saxon kingdom, southern England. Its area approximated that of the counties of Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Somerset, Berkshire, and Avon. Its capital was Winchester. The kingdom is traditionally thought to have been founded by Saxon invaders of Britain. The name is derived from West/Saxon people. See also Sussex and Essex, both of which still exist - Sussex is further divided in the East and West.

Tas, also a part-time native of Northumberland County ON, also knows Warkworth, Wooler, and main township of Percy, after the Dukes of the other Northumberland. Not too knowledgeable about the Ontario panhandle, TBH, apart from having friends in Guelph and a great yen to visit the local Amish furniture fairs in Kitchener...

For what it's worth, there's a Scarborough in Canada, hopefully not as cold and windy as the one here in England.

And Perth, Stirling and Peterborough, and Stratford, with a river and a Shakespeare festival. And a whole scad of other places, too. Note, however, that Scarborough ON is a part of Metro-Tronna, and no longer a separate entity like aforetimes. Here's a list of same-name locations -
