My post had nothing to do with you. I only knew that you were the sender
after I had finished answering it. My poists are only to be taken poersonally
if I mention a specific persons name. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Regarding enclosers, I find your mention of sheep only being enclosed in the
last 300 years particularly interesting. Since some of the yew hedges which
enclose the sheep acerage in some parts of Wales (particularly those that are
found in the area of the Black Mountains and specifically those in the Carreg
Cennen area have trunks that appear toi be much older than this I would be
interested to know more about this so i can correct both my on-sight
observations which do not suggest such a young age for the hedges or actual
sources I could read which would clarilfy this for me.
I find this entire subject extremely interesting and have been reading your
posts with relish. Thanks.:-)
