Good grief Osprey,
I would never have thought of categorising names into areas like that.
I knew I was coming across quite a few Powells, but blimey, that takes the cake.
It's quite obvious where my line comes from, and isn't it funny, that even before I knew the line went back to Wales, I always had a thing about visiting there.
So now I'm too old and crochety to do it, but my daughter can do it for me.
She is going to have to take hundreds of photos.
Actually last time she was over there, about 2 years ago, she took roughly 700 phots. and it took me ages to look through them all on the computer. But worth every minute.
Wales & Scotland have always been my "thing" to do, (you know, like a bucket list), England, London in particular, really don't interest me.
If I want to see a city I can go back to Sydney, and that's exactly why I left it. Can't stand the rat race.
And then - where did I move to -- the Australian Capital Territory, along with all the politicians. However, I live just over the border in New South Wales, so the hot air doesn't quite make it to here.
I must show my daughter the National Trust site. That should convince her that she needs to see that area.
Thanks osprey, you've given me a very pleasant surprise.
Eddo
