Re: Kabu,
I'm glad the card is to your liking! I have in mind assembling packets of cards of related images. It gets expensive, having to buy 10 of a design to get the discount. or paying full price when you only want one of each of a bunch of designs.
Which reminds me, I have a code/coupon to give friends a discount on the FAA prices. Just email me for it next time!
I am also very glad you enjoyed the trip!

I browsed back through several pages to get things together in my mind and had a lovely trip via your photos. Think I may just keep coming back. Oh and the post card arrived and is superb!!!

Re: Pat,
Lord Clitheroe is a landlord who has some binding covenants or something of the sort, not so different from the many communities that have owners' associations to keep that one guy from painting his house tangerine orange.
Throughout England, as in the US, people who own houses on the historic register can't just alter them at will. Here, if you want to make changes in one of the several-century old stone houses, you have to present plans to the local council planning board. If they don't okay it--and they often don't--you have to make new plans. It is frustrating and exasperating for some owners. But that's the deal when one buys an old historic building.

Re: CCT,
Something is fascinating about the search for the oldest stone that is still legible. 1812 was the earliest I found in the churchyards. Older still, there are, but weather has not been gentle with them and many are ilegible.

I don't think I'd enjoy that little town, owned by his lordship or whoever,
although, come to think of it, there's a lot of us little serfs living on some lordship's estate we call the USA...

I may not have asked for it - by I love this vision of 'Ye Olde England', so different from much of 'Londonistan'...
