Hi Tracey,

Well, the loft was like an Alladin's cave! While hunting for Floral Garden
stuff, I found a box with Britains Zoo enclosures in it! I thought that they
had long gone... Just goes to show that it is time for a BIG clearout!

Sadly, the crazy paving is just that... Too crazy for a trade item, I'm
afraid.

If you'll send me an invoice I can paypal the money to you. Don't forget to
add a bit for Paypal fees - they will eat into the cash all too quickly!

Cheers for now, but I'll let you know if I locate any of the items you are
looking for.

Jon P.
