That is something I didn't know! You've certainly studied the landscapes up.
Unfortunately,I don't drive. Often wished I did but I get around fine using cabs. At least I was a good navigator,so hubby said.
Canterbury is one place I have never been to,always wantd to go but never got around to it. We used to go caravanning all over the south of Britain years ago (good life) but never managed to make it there.

Hi, I actually never studied the landscape, this item was what you might call "what you knew", Just stored away in junk from the past. I just thought it made a pretty good example of knowledge carried forward that had no relevance today.

I have met many "ersatz" gypsies over the last fifty years, including very many who actually have some claim to be so. Sadly, very few have ever actually lived in anything but a house, cannot rokker, not even a few words and are pretty much lost, since they fit in neither World. So I think myself that it is all best left behind and it is better to fit in with the World as it is and not as we would wish it to be.

After all, the best place to hide a tree is in a Forest!

Regards

There's nothing like comfort these days,Moscarella! Myself included! My pleasure in life now is to put my feet up and relax.
I've done my share of hard work over 40 years,let the young ones take over now.
What line of work are you in? Is it to do with Physiotherapy?
Good career.
Talking about a throw away society! My mother and grandmother would save half a sandwich if they couldn't eat it in the old days. I remember my mum telling me off if I threw away half a loaf because it was slightly stale, I was told I could have made 'bread pudding' out of it!
My brother lives in Scoland,was wondering how he was coping with the snow up there,he is a heating engineer and travels round all the farms in the wilds.
We have the opposite here,red hot weather,too hot for comfort.

Hi, I qualified as a doctor and went into private practice since that is where the money is, so what I have lying around (heaps), is the detritus from three clinics which I have closed in my time.

Although I am pretty much retired now I still maintain a pretty big private practice, most of which I really don't want to continue with, but the money is good!

Anyway, the rate at which the bread prices are rising here, bread pudding will soon be a luxury item!

Regards

Got to admit I do like my creature comforts. We used to love caravan holidays but by the time the holiday was over,were only too glad to get home to central heating,a proper bed and home cooked meals.
I think as one gets older,we tend to look back on the past too much,I know I do which is a bad thing!

Well,you have surprised me! Have you specialised or a general practioner?
You would make a heap of money out here,no National Health doctors here,though luckily I possess what they call a 'Gold card'. Hubby was in the Korean war and he died from stomach cancer which they attributed to the war.
Soooo,I get my medical treatment free!
