English villages

What could be more English than these Thames side village scenes. They are just a picture of peace and tranquility in a very troubled world.

  15. I love it - I have to make it back to England before much longer. I could spend weeks exploring the countryside and villages (and about 3 days in London would be my limit)!

  16. The first house almost looks like a face to me with two eyes and a hat on!

  17. Not too many places in the world look like that - or have names like that either!

    I actually think Jaws is an interesting read if you read as a story about politics and a lack of understanding of the environment, rather than just a story about a big fish!
