Just putting Osmotherley on the map for all those millions of Chinese who will be visting us here in the years to come, bringing their spondulas, as we become unable to afford to go abroad, Ha. So if you are sitting in outer Mongolia and zoom in on us you can see everything you want to and to help you Teesside airport is not far away. We can pick you up in a horse drawn carriage and whisk you to this beautiful village in just over 10 hrs, across some of the wildest scenery in the world. The world and their camels can now see just how beautiful it is here from their rocking chair -- on a sunny day mind !!
And isnt this site just awesome if you live in far flung places and and fancy a wee trip somewhere interesting!

Taken from private land without permission!
That picture is outside my house taken in early May I believe.
As for why I didnt do Sheepwash. I thought it would be unfair to others who had already done it and anyway theres no point duplicating and cluttering up the map with additional pictures. The system should be informative.
As for useful..... I use it everytime I plan a holiday....especially the route out of the foreign airport when I hire a car !!.
Im still waiting for my first chinese visitor comment.

Burning limestone, which is calcium carbonate, gives you quick lime, calcium oxide. Mixed with water this produces slaked lime, calcium hydroxide. When slaked lime or quick lime was added to the land it raised its pH and so improved its fertility.
