The United Kingdom and Ireland in glorious text!!

This was made as a full size poster for my girlfriend for her birthday recently. It's also cleverly signed as I found two places with my forename and surname!!

WORD!

Woo a DD, my first! What a great way to wake up, this explains why there's loads of messages waiting in my inbox! Many thanks to for suggesting it and for featuring it! Inspired by this map of the shipping forecast [link]

Many thanks for all your nice comments.

Gregatron In reply to TrevorDeal [2011-10-02 10:51:57 +0000 UTC]

Well Essex is a county, and I've used mostly town, city and village names, with a few national parks too. So places in Essex are there, maybe your friends town is one of them!
