I'm not going to because:
a) It's in my front garden,
b) There is no doubt about the fact is in my garden, and I own a small share of it and that fraction of a mm is outside my front door.

Pete's however is more than 3m outside his front door, and he doesn't own a share of it.

Pauly how's the line coming on?

If the loco's go past close enough to prune your bushes then it's pretty much a garden railway!

Terrific photo there, that must be an ideal location for any narrow gauge enthusiast! 8)
