Hi Ruairidh

Afraid not. Did not venture beyond southern England (where I felt more at home than I now do here) and now too old.
Although I had seen a lot of TV I was nevertheless surprised how so much of England remains Victorian/Edwardian. I sort of thought the TV locations were selected. On the way to relatives in rural coastal Devon and using a map I turned down a direct route in the dark. Thought I had entered a tunnel. Later explored it on Google. If i had persisted would still be finding my way out of fields and thickets!
With all the tenement houses where do persons keep their cars, let alone parts hoards? 
Find your tour photos equally interesting.
Google has rather spoiled travel. I was able to find the post in a car park I nearly backed in to, and traffic signs overlooked. (Mounted on buildings, not encountered here)

I think this may explain Ruairidh's post!

Albi's cathedral is the largest brick built building in the world. Just next door is a museum to Toulouse Lautrec who was the smallest little artist in the world

Mmm, Bob, quite a few of us live in Wales, just saying. Other brave and bearded Celts will tell you where they live.

I know what you mean Bob. I was told to go & see the 'old' houses in Boston Mass a few years back, which are the pride of the sightseeing trail. I mean they are nice and all that but not many are much older than the terraced cottage I live in back here.

It's very easy to drive around Britain thinking all the roads are upgraded and modern but if you invest in some out-of-date OS maps you can still find many, many 'white' roads which take you through a different country altogether - albeit slowly...

RE: What have you done today with your Austin Seven - Bob Culver - 26-08-2019

Thanks fellahs.
After the Christchurch earthquake here I felt a bit nervous in cathedrals, esp Salisbury  because part of the towering stone structure has been curved to correct subsidence! I was especially keen to view the clock, amongst the oldest known. Compared with suits of armour etc, wondrously primitive.
I stayed near and visited Dartmouth and was annoyed to learn that I missed a Newcomen engine there.
And to Chris in a few days I encountered more more or less single lane roads in Devon than I have found here in 50 years of searching them out! When the relatives earlier visited here I lectured them on the winding (full width, sealed) road to the coast, the need for care etc. They used to laugh...and I learned why. (I went to some trouble to show them our impressive west coast, then later discovered they lived 1/2 a mile from better!)i

I remember my Dad visiting us just after we moved to Somerset.

"You've brought me down a road, there is grass down the middle and branches are touching both sides of the car."

To me, in the Austin, just a normal country lane.

Bob
All that interest in Salisbury, the tower, the clock etc.....you didn't call at the Russian Embassy did you?.....just asking!!
Tragic about Christchurch, though, we visited in 2010 & loved it.

Hi K C,

I've recorded on here before, about American history.

We to visited Boston around 12 years ago, and very disapointed with the so called old houses.

We done like everyone else, and visited the frank revere house. To find it was all restored. On top of what little original was left. Wilst walking around I asked with house being restored is the furniture original to the house or added to give effect. Answer NO SIR it's all what was THOUGHT TO BE in this age of house in the day.

Thee is a showcase outside the house, everything has on it THOUGHT TO BE the type of items made in frank reveres foundry.

I find older Americans feel they need to point out there oldest THOUGHT TO BE history.

We're as in reality there best history is much more modern, CHEERS bar. Fantastic.

This year we start at dallas Wink
