    What a nice collection of photos you have John! I like the half-timbered houses especially the one that is leaning. I wonder what it is like to be in it.

    My friend actually got his grades to go to St Johns, unlike me who missed mine to get into St Catharine's

    Great images here. Those half timbered leaning buildings amaze me that they are still standing. The thatched roofs are incredible works of art. There was one such roof in our neighborhood when I lived in Carmel, CA, and a fella was almost constantly working on it. It was a normal sight to see him up there, working away.

    Mom and Dad were married in the Church of the English Martyrs. I have not yet made it there, except to drive by with Les. Ely I loved, the town and the cathedral. A special place. I can see I will need yet another trip to England, after the one this September, to see the south of the country and to visit that pub!
