The first time I went to Shaftesbury a few years ago I deliberately didn't go to Gold Hill - it's such a photographic cliché. This time, though, I thought I'd better get it over and done with. Luckily I was about 30 minutes too late to get the best light, so I took the mandatory shot and had done with it. It is a very lovely spot though, and St. James at the foot of the hill is very, very beautiful.
That first advert reminds me of my mother and her sisters and brother. There are 5 of them, brought up in a Bradford terrace in the 30s by their widowed mother - real urban poverty in those days. One of the stories they reminisce about is being given a farthing once, so they bought a stick of liqourice between the 5 of them and all had a lick. Lixury! Here's a slightly better quality version of the Ridley Scott advert, showing the light a bit better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFLBvLxLJMI -- Bob "The search for the man who terrorizes nudist camps with a bacon slicer goes on. Inspector Lemuel Jones had a tip-off this morning, but hopes to be back on duty tomorrow." In the Swedish Chemist: (Heavy faux-Swedish accent); Corbett: Ah wood like to poorchase some dee-o-darant pleese. Barker: Surrtanly, surr, ball or aerosol. Corbett: Needer, I want it fur my armpits. --- Ronnie Barker > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of mike wilson > Sent: 23 June 2007 09:31 > To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List > Subject: Re: Tour de Wessex > > Bob W wrote: > > > I came back yesterday from a cycle trip around Dorset, Wilts and > > Hants.
