Why are we fascinated with England

Oh Chatsworth!! Now there is a place I want to visit!!!

I see Rob you will be my go-to person when I start planning!!!

My sentiments exactly - everyone!  I only wish I had discovered England when I was 20, rather than 50!  I might have seen more of it by now.  I don't completely understand my fascination with it, but I accept it as part of who I am.

Krissy, I too am waiting for my lottery numbers to hit or some other resource to fund another trip.  I have been to England in May and in September, and both times the weather was gorgeous.  It seems impossible to choose where to go, as every inch of the country seems to be beautiful and full of history.  You might try putting a map on the wall and throw darts to try and pick your first places to visit.  I have stayed in B&B's, a cottage and small hotel (in London).  They each have pros and cons, depending on what you're looking for in accommodations.  If you want a full English breakfast but don't like getting up by a certain time, then a cottage would be better than a B&B.  I enjoyed the B&B's because I am an early riser and enjoyed having someone else make breakfast for me. It was also fun to sit at table with interesting people from other places around the world. Bottom line, wherever you go, whatever you do there, you will love it.

Tell him that England Is Old. We have stone circles and ancient villages that are over 5000 years old here. Fortunately, we try to save them from destruction for our great grandchildren to enjoy as well. It is our heritage.

We must save these places for posterity. I love finding old castles and ancient villages. They are great to explore. I try to imagine what the people that built them were like and how they lived. We have a very rich history right here on our doorstep. If it were not for our ancestors,where would we be today?

Oops,time to get off my soap box. Sorry!
