Years ago, my wife and I became hooked on British murder mystery
DVDs....Rosemary & Thyme, Inspector Morse, etc. but most notably the Midsomer
Murders with Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby and his family. Well, the
point
of bringing this up is that, even if you don't care to solve murder
mysteries, you've got to watch at least part of these shows to take in the
countryside and the old Brit cars......simply spectacular!
I wish I had a dollar for every time I blurted out in the middle of a scene
"there goes a Riley.....or look at that old Rolls...." Most of the shows
we've seen are set in the 30's, 40's and 50's so there aren't many "modern"
TR's running around but it sure sharpens your skills on identifying other
lesser known old Brit cars.....and, who of us wouldn't picture ourselves
driving on those country lanes:)

Nice. Wish I had a running Triumph, especially since our big British Field
Day is coming up next weekend. So it goes.
But a number of years ago my wife and I visited England and spent some
time with friends in Wales. They lived in an old farmhouse in a small
town.
Their postal address had no number or street name, it was simply
Bob and Vera Blah Blah
Upper House
Blah Blah, Wales
I would love to go back again, a beautiful place. Now that
I have a job travel may once again be possible. The
pay is pretty pathetic, but if we're frugal...
Anyway, congratulations on a fine day's drive. I am envious.
