Randi,
how neat!!!!!!
where in bookham did his family live????
i lived on old rectory lane...(there can't be two of them)
the people i lived with there were nigel and arlette mendez da costa.....he was an antique dealer...i think that he died about 10 years ago...he was only 52 when he died...arlette still lives in hammersmith,barnes...with samara their adopted daughter...
we had a fabulous house there...lots of acres....horses,dogs,cats..chickens....
you are right...the english countryside has more than a special quality...probably why i love reading james herriot books....he writes such beautiful descriptions of the animals,the people and the countryside...also Richard Llewellen....though he was welsh...same magical countryside....
though thinking about it also puts me in a travelling mood...i do not miss the weather!!!! I CAN REMEMBER SWIMMING AT AN OUTDOOR POOL IN LONDON BECAUSE IT WAS 62 DEGREE!!!!
now i say bbbbbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! cold!!!!!!!!!!

theres' so much to see here(though virtually NO history!!)we are 1 hour from miami,disney,ocala national forest..2 hours from the keys!!!! i love doing anything out of doors!!!! so its' nice to go outside year round!!!!!!

hey do you remember gollywogs and girlywogs???remember that jam????? we had when i was a kid....we all had the little dolls back then....never came to the states..
uh oh...going down memory lane again
