Oh Spitty, you are such a card, we have of course, but we live in the hope that someday they will get something right, the old slinging mud at the wall and sticking thing, you know.
Lovely dark and mysterious shots Pug, seems a perfect place for composing music and writing thrillers.
“Much Deeping” in Hampshire is mentioned in Agatha Christie’s book “The Pale Horse” is there such a place? I’m watching it on Miss Marple at the moment, not one of her best works in my humble opinion.
We have some strange place names here, and you have some unusual place names over there too, for example.
Bell End, Worcestershire
Brown Willy, Cornwall
Boggy Bottom, Hertfordshire
Twatt, Orkney
Nob End, South Lancashire
Fanny Barks, Durham
Scratchy Bottom, Dorset
Minge Lane, Worcestershire
