I spent a bit of time on Audley Road Essex, Sandy lane in Wiltshire, and at Hardy's in Dorset, but truly it was a wonderful tour for me. Thank you for putting it together. Truly enjoyed!

My late mother-in-law lived in Harborne for the last few years of her life. It is a shame you didn't get to visit the Black Country Museum - I would have had some more pictures then for my Black Country tour! Glad you enjoyed it.

I know you will have a better explanation that I could possibly give although I am very proud of my Black Country heretage. Walsall is only just in so to speak, but we are the saddlers and proud if it. |

Who knew there were so many pictures of sheep? Although on reflection one does tend to see sheep in many of the more lovely hilly places in England |
