Someone on another site gave me this link to a website where people are uploading photographs of places in the UK


I've found it fascinating.


www.geograph.org.uk/



I found a photograph of my old high school taken from an unusual viewpoint, that shows just how isolated it was, even in 1979, 20 years after I graduated!

Well worth a look - even to see what your ancestors' village/town looks like now. Thanks Sylvia.

that sounds as if you had a great time. We just stay around home ..... OH's sister is way up north, and our daughter is on the opposite coast (literally)
