I know you're right, Peter, about the number of British writers - countless! Wales is actually where my dad's family is from, so I do hope to make it there. Also, Lyn, I looked at some of your pictures - the daffodils are great - we just finished Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud!" And Barton Springs - we have a Barton Springs in Texas - one of the best places EVER for swimming! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

There's a public road right through it and you have to drive past the deers that roam 'free' there, and there's Woburn Game Reserve too, Yes thats not far from me, about 20min drive. Or it could be Whipsnade. Yes Peter, that joke is as old as the hills lol I say I live in Beds....it sounds like I never get up LOL Deborah...we cant swim in our Barton Springs....its literally a Spring! a trickle of water coming out of the hills turning into a small stream, or a puddle if we've had no rain for a long time....which doesn't happen very often here in good old Blighty lol My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I was born in Pontypridd, but lived for a while in Caerphilly. Then Bedwas and Machen before moving to London and then to Essex. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
