"England 2006" by nebulaflash

This is Studland near Swanage in Dorset. My sister Avril and her partner John have done a lovely job on their garden and their home

This is a really pretty village with lovely peaceful walks. Old buildings well cared for and cherished, near the coast - my kind of village.

See the vertical striations on these rocks. What happened here? An earthquake perhaps.

This scene, viewed with my back to the ocean, at Lullworth Cove, inspires painters I'm sure. So idyllic. The quintessential English town. There must be a Miss Marple living here.

Apparently Yew's are chosen to watch over the graveyard. This is by St. Nicholas Church in Studland - built around the 12th century. For more information on the Yew Tree and its significance in the graveyard go to: http://www.shee-eire.com/Herbs,Trees&Fungi/Trees/Yew/yew1.htm.

This pretty pub is in Little Marlow, Bucks. I didn't find out when it was built but certainly in the days before skyscrapers and motor cars.

This is also in Little Marlow - just a few yards away from the Queen's Head. You can stop for a drink with the Queen, then move on to the King in one afternoon very easily

The cows watch over you as you walk down this little pathway. They seem quite content in a large field with green grass to munch on all day. There were calves here too.
