I am considering sending it to my Mum, I made this map of her childhood village,Glapthorn,last year, I made it the old fashioned way, I found maps of the village, some dating back to the 1950's, then drew it on graph paper, 'No computer was harmed in the making of this chart' 
Anyway, this has a very similar feel to the village, lots of trees and old houses, I think my Mum would like it

The map is amazing Jilly! I imagine that is well treasured. 
I bet she loves the new piece as well, who wouldn't, it's so striking.

I gave her the map last year, she was so happy she knows every inch of that village and the surrounding fields, and I made sure the house she lived in is on it.
Thank you for your very nice comments
