It's Grasmere John, and I'd much rather be there than where I am now

How did you get on with the potential new camera? Did you get one yet?

Spot on there Jason. Your comment takes me way back to my childhood in the woods and crags near Kirkby Lonsdale. My grandparent lived in a small vilage not far from Kirby. Clean fresh air mixed in with the usual smells of the countryside.....very little polution from vehicles....wonderful days

There was no pollution outside of London when I was over many years ago.  Please say there's still no pollution out in the countryside.  We intend to stay in the countryside.

Thank you Jason.  So far it appears to be the Southwest.  I've found a bungalow there that seems to be the one.  It's Rosehip Cottage in Somerton, Somerset.  Would like to see the southeast also so expect we'll drive over that direction.

I had alook at the cottage earlier on today and I think you will find you have an absolute bargain looking at the prices....they seem to offer exceptional value for money. Along with John it is a lovely part of the country, you will not be dissapointed
