Recent tv documentary covered the story of a test pilot who took off again in a restored ( 50's era ) Beaver, one that he used to fly, from the same De Havilland runway he had originally used those many years ago... Ever ride in a Spitfire? Anna It would be a dream come true of mine to fly a Spitfire. An ambition yet to be realised! Those Beavers really are great aeroplanes. We don't have too many float planes here in England. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

You have some lovely shots - looking forward to seeing more. I have a great regard for firefighters by the way. Anyone who makes a career of putting themselves in harm's way to save lives and limbs and properties is heroic in my book. Have fun at POE. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I must have been away too long and come back in a time machine, because everyone looks so young! (except me, of course). My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Perhaps it was my desire to start to travel now the kids are grown and gone. As a result of the travelling I have become very interested in photography and history. I don't use a flash camera but still am satisfied with what I manage to take each trip. In 14 weeks time I will be in Ireland and the first part of 8 weeks travel. I can hardly wait. I will put up some of my past travel photos when I get some free time. Its a shame I have to work to fund these trips. Must away. Jennifer My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

The British Isles are THE BEST. 8 weeks - how I envy you. Enjoy yourself here and if you don't have an itinerary yet, surf thru this site to get ideas about where you'd like to visit. Have a great time here, Jennifer. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Dublin to Manchester and areas to Witby to Cambridge to Bukinghamshire to London to Amsterdam where we are booked on a 2 week river cruise to Budapest. 10 days in Germany where we will meet the daughter-in-law's parents. Russell flies home and I fly onto Cairo to meet up with the school trip to Gallipoli, Egypt and Greek islands and lastly to Athens. We have relations in UK so meeting up with them while there but we still have to plan what we want to see the most. Jennifer My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I've been to Whitby - it's wonderful. Hopefully you'll have a bit of time to spend in North Yorkshire, it's God's country. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I hope that the weather in the UK stays as good for you as it is at the moment. It's been warmer here this week than it is in Athens! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
