    Where are the butterflies?

    In Farnborough (Hants) where I live, we have just had a golf course close to be turned into a SANG next to Southwood Woodland.

    Great budget (£20) tarp heads up.

    Just wanted to say thanks to BigMonster for the heads up on this one. I have a reasonable sized Decathlon store in Farnborough (Hants) nearby, and they had 5 in stock, so picked one up this morning. Has a rather large, white logo on one side (which a purchaser had mentioned in a review on...
