Other than that, we love Monkton Old Hall and the West Blockhouse in Pembrokeshire, the Danescome (Arsenic) Mine and Arra Venton in Cornwall, Gurney Manor in Somerset, most of the ones in North Wales... (I could go on...:-)
One still very much on my wish list is Fort Clonque in the Channel Islands!

Romilly.

Just so long as you just looked at the mine, and did not lick your fingers after the visit. ;D ;D

Years ago we went close to the asbestos mine at Wittenoom in Western Australia. Did not get close as it was closed off at quite a distance. Did take a couple of photos of asbestos crystals in a rock some way away :P

I definitely shan't be booking with the company which compiled a list of Irish names it didn't want as clients.

I won't be leaving Great Britain or easing precautions when out or inside.

Spain is in a Third Coronavirus Wave according to TV news (England) this week.

Our Professors Chris Whitty and Sir Patrick Vallance were before a Parliamentary Committee (London) this week and some questions and points made were quite interesting.

Here in Oz, the Commonwealth government is trying to con us in NSW to fly to Queensland to help their tourism industry to recover from the lockdowns by the Queensland Premier.

A lot of people are saying no way, the Qld government did the lockdowns, now they want the rest of the country to help them recover. Also a lot of people I know are taking the attitude, will the borders remain open, or will they shut them down AFTER people have spent their money but not yet gone away. :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X

My Son lives in QLD and has said half price flights are being offered within the country but hotels etc have increased their prices to try and recover what they’ve lost through not being open.... he and his wife will not be taking up any of these offers either!
