Happy travellers and a puzzle, too!
« on: October 15, 2010, 04:26:56 PM »
After more than 2 weeks traveling through England and a small part of  Scotland and meeting
many friends at the D.W, we were happy to return safely at home yesterday evening.

We had a wonderful trip with mostly good weather, though the first days it was rather wet. Never seen such enormous mushrooms before ::)

mushrooms?

Glad you both got back home OK Luit, it was lovely to meet you.

We call those golf balls Luit! ;D Through which parts of England were you travelling? The garden party and single track road are quite unusual.

I can only give you a roughly impression on a map Anthony.
We drove about 4.400 kms in total!
In the Southwest we drove probably more single track roads, many with grass verges in the middle, than normal roads ::) ::) ::) :-X

We noticed that in Britain quizzes are rather popular in pubs. We were sent away for dinner at a big pub which was renown for good food.
They had no table free for us, which meant 6 mls. driving to another place  ??? :o
So it's maybe a good idea to make a quiz and I show pictures of places along our tour where we have been. Sounds like fun to me to see if the "Islanders" know their country :D

To make it easier for a start, we drove on the first day from Dover up to W. Yorkshire where we visited the next rainy day a museum in a small town dedicated to a famous British person.
I think that at the most places some Forumists already have been, so it's not to difficult.

There will be about 20 pics, so maybe this should be better moved to the Puzzle thread?

I did say that the first one would be easy. Indeed Brian, the picture was made in Haworth.

Maggi, as soon as I know where to put it, I show more pictures. Sorry for giving you more work  :-*

Sorry, Luit, I've been thinking WHERE to put it, and Angela dropped in for tea and cake and I forgot what I was doing!  :-[ :)


 I think I'll take all your happy posts about the subject off to a new thread.....
