This last few days RL has been taking over again. In odd moments I keep trying to plan out Throxton. For anyone worried about Fenbury I have done some tidying up and plan to spend some more time today working on it.

The canal feature, as anticipated, is proving the most difficult to sort out at the moment. At some point the road will have to cross the canal and I am really not sure how to achieve it yet. In the meantime I have been adding lots, like canal side houses and an inn. I am considering a footbridge but, again, I am not sure quite how to achieve it.

This area I am currently calling Church Square. It is usual for a lot of towns and villages to have squares similar to these. It might not look like much but it should be a bustling area when built and decorated, a mixture of community and residential lots.

Meanwhile back at the area which I am currently calling The Henge I have added a few more trees. These may be reduced in number once the buildings go in. The aim is not to detract from the stone circle. Also I have been playing around with fencing for the edge of the dual carriageway. There is the central reservation to decorate as well. In the distance I have put in a roadside diner.

The other side of the dual carriageway I have started planning out another major feature. I have decided to site a junk yard here because the town I am basing a lot of my ideas on has one very close to the dual carriageway. In real life it is no where near the village with the standing stones, anymore than the roadside diner is. At the moment it sounds worse than it will actually be when complete. The real life scrap yard is set back from the main road and is surrounded by trees and hedges.
I hope this is not too boring but I am finding the planning just as completing a project is not that visually exciting.
