Sorry to corrupt the thread,but I've been up all night watching the TV and reading FR,and what is happening over there right now is just unbelievable. I'm watching as I type,the pictures of the suspects from the failed bombings.There is no way that a few,relatively speaking,fanatical members of the "religion of peace" should be allowed to come into a sovereign and democratic country and disrupt the entire tenor and lifestyle of that country,much less injure and kill the very hosts,the native people of that country,who took them in. I know y'all won't stand for it,and my prayers are certainly with you all right now.

Back on topic-your home region sounds so beautiful,I've really got to get over there and fulfill my dream of seeing it.I've always told my husband,I don't care what else I never see,I want to see England,especially its beautiful countryside. From the descriptions I've read over my lifetime,and the pictures I've seen,fewer places seem so beautiful and agreeable.And I LOVE rain,the weather would perfectly agreeable to me also.I've never dealt with cold weather that much,that would be new,but I love when we have a cold winter(maybe every 5 years or so!),so I'm sure I'd love that.

Don't spend too much time in London, go to the Yorkshire moors, the Cotswolds, the Lake District, Devon and Cornwall, etc. If you ask the way in London in recent years, you will almost certainly get the response "I no know, I stranger myself."
