I was born in Wesbury Wiltshire, in fact some of my immediate family helped build Stonehenge. My Uncle, William Ug, designed it. He was playing with a a few choccy bars at the time and put two on their end, then laid another across the top. He said 'Looks good! I'll call it Stonehenge. It will bring all the punters in and put Wiltshire on the map! He was right, Uncle Ug, he was nothing to look at; all hair and a sloping brow, but he had it up top I reckon!

 

Oh, sorry, to stay on topic. I would love to live in Cornwall.

LOL, Ray.  I  had an Uncle Ug too, over at Newgrange.  Maybe we're related, not to mention all our Celtic ancestors.  lol

Thanks a lot, Diana  Yell

Now I do too, lol.  Wink

Keeping on topic, I really found the town of Ennis in County Clare, west Ireland to be very charming.  You wouldn't have to twist my arm if you offered me a place there.
