Thanks.Yes, although I'm not a particularly keen photographer, that shot just stood out to me Gee.
There were some very nice old Tudor buildings in the town Morgana.
I don't know the full connection, but obviously there is a connection with Dickens. I don't know if he was born there or wrote there but most of the shops/pubs/cafes had names relating to Dickens works and evidently, some of the buildings in the town were settings for some of his books!

When I was at school I was picked to play Fagin but upset my teacher and headmaster by refusing to do it. Peer pressure I think. I have regreted it for many years! I'd even got the Jewish accent perfected and learnt all the songs. Still sing 'Reveiwing the Situation' to myself 35 years later. If only I hadn't cared so much what others thought.I suppose that's why I've always encouraged Graeme with his dream of a show business life. You have to follow your dreams, I wish I had!!!!

Yes but we all learn and try to pass it on to our children, some listen to advice my girls don't my son does but thinks first. lol Life has nt changed where peer presure counts does it. If only the ordanary people knew what was thought about us by the upper class perhaps we would stick together. I know I have worked for these kind, saying that no all of them are the same.
