@ Victoria: Than...Another one I forgot to answer!<br /><br />@ Victoria: Thank you! I quite liked the collage too.<br /><br />@ Dáithaí: Agreed - Edward was quite the brute.<br /><br />@ Kathy: I agree!<br /><br />@ Jenny: Definitely. He was a typical megalomaniac.<br /><br />@ Karen: I know! I've learned so much from running this blog!<br /><br />@ Dominic: I haven't been there! Wow, you have given me two major travel tips / destinations in one comment.<br /><br />@ William: I think it is important that Welsh and Scottish culture be developed and preserved and if that takes independence, then so be it. The history, culture and language is too important to be assimilated into the English norm.<br /><br />@ Life Ramblings: I guess my work here is done!<br /><br />@ Ola: I imagine they cost thousands of £s to preserve but hopefully the entrance fees go towards that somehow.<br /><br />@ Ash: Thank you!<br /><br />@ London Caller: Noooo, that is in today's money!<br /><br />@ Betty: Thank you!Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931248631361366673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757405063506888257.post-69304306403011581342011-10-09T17:50:41.906+01:002011-10-09T17:50:41.906+01:00the photo mosaic is brilliant!the photo mosaic is brilliant!Betty Manousoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08549686306725800208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757405063506888257.post-44839688648868340052011-10-05T18:37:03.941+01:002011-10-05T18:37:03.941+01:00£6m?!

...Beautiful castle. Have you been to Bodiam Castle?<br />One of my favourites when I was a boy :-)<br />http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-findaplace/w-bodiamcastle/<br /><br />Here's our route through France:<br />Hamburg - Strasbourg - Route des Vins d'Alsace (we visited Mont Sainte-Odile, Barr, and Colmar) - Besancon - Avignon - Gordes - Roussillon - Arles - Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer in the Camargue region - Millau - the Gorges du Tarn (Sainte-Enimie, St Chely du Tarn, Castelbouc) - Dijon - Besancon - Saarlouis - Hamburg<br /><br />We disabled the "fastest route" - function in our TomTom navigation system so we'd get to see more of the country. Sometimes, it might have taken us twice as long to get from one place to another, but it was well worth it!Domhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02484107284986186647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757405063506888257.post-1034241249183135372011-09-30T02:26:14.044+01:002011-09-30T02:26:14.044+01:00You and your readers learn a lot from the posts we...You and your readers learn a lot from the posts we write.
