Those hats on the walkers are fun! I looked up the Ye Olde Green Manne pub to see what it looks like. I like it. It looks cozy and very English.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-17871647742730129472018-01-14T15:21:55.254+00:002018-01-14T15:21:55.254+00:00Interesting history on armed forces bases in Engla...Interesting history on armed forces bases in England during the war. Countries had to have legal ownership of the land. The bases were set up very quickly and just as quickly they were torn down.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996243850279671523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-37337816628600094042018-01-14T14:49:29.315+00:002018-01-14T14:49:29.315+00:00Fascinating.

I've always been intrigued by the flat-bottomed house boats. <br />Funny - I went to high school for 1/2 year at the American school in Ruislip when my father was posted to London for a year.Martyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02366449267039641100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-69405010655833782322018-01-14T14:40:56.652+00:002018-01-14T14:40:56.652+00:00I think it's so cool that they have preserved ...I think it's so cool that they have preserved these walking paths. so do the people who live on the canal in their boats have to pay some sort of rent? and to who? do they have permanent mooring spots or do they actually travel up and down the canal?ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-59008305445180452492018-01-14T14:22:37.337+00:002018-01-14T14:22:37.337+00:00Wow!

I just can't imagine living in such a small space. It would appear that the people who do live on them have slightly different, uh, sensibilities! <br />As do the people who live in the gator on the lawn house. Obviously. <br />I hope your tooth gets some help soon!Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-18219484728723651392018-01-14T06:01:47.669+00:002018-01-14T06:01:47.669+00:00Thanks for showing your regular visitors this sect...Thanks for showing your regular visitors this section of The Loop. I think that Olga would have enjoyed participating in the weathered stuffed animals tea party. The last time I saw The Grand Union Canal I was at Watford Gap Services on the M1. The canal is 137 miles long with several connecting canals and it links Birmingham with London as I am sure you already knew.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.com
