It is great that the new generations of royalty built upon the old, rather than destroying it to make their own.

Your photographs brought back a lot of happy memories of the summer I spent in England with my parents and brother when I was a teenager. I went to Germany and France briefly six years ago but didn't have the time to make it to England during that trip. I hope I will do one of these days.Carverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05968919406427737503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-83543169816032155242009-04-07T13:22:00.000-05:002009-04-07T13:22:00.000-05:00Yet another place I need to put on my list of plac...Yet another place I need to put on my list of places to visit.
