Let's say I've passed nearby. I stayed at Sherfield English a few weeks
ago, whilst on a pilgrimage to the Museum of Army Aviation and a also a
visit to Solent Sky in Southampton. In anticipation of the trip I took a
look at the general geographic and demographic situation.

I really didn't know about the Army museum. I shall pencil a visit in for
the New year. As for Solent Sky, I've never hard it called that before.
It's always been the Hall of Aviation to me. I went there when it opened
but never since, typical really. I only live about five miles from the
place and just forget it exists. Looking at the exhibits, it must be worth
returning to.

I haven't been in that part of the world since the 1960s when I spent a
lot of time on Salisbury Plain - well I remember the Rose & Crown at
Tilshead - during which time there are vague memories of Romsey and
alcoholic beverages taken to excess! It seems to have changed a bit over
the years! Or, more likely, I have changed over the years, as things
never look the same when you're sober!

Tell me about it. lol

A pleasant part of the country though.

Indeed. I did a photography course at college a few years ago. The tutor
was from oop narth and his constant complaint was that this was an
uninteresting part of the world. Might be uninteresting but there's few
places I'd rather live.


Yes, northerners often seem to have a "thing" about the rest of England,
don't they and often can't be bothered to see beyond their own
prejudices. After all who needs ferrets, flat caps and pigeons?

;-)

I'm happy with my corner of Somerset.
