The West Country has much to offer . . .
Land's End - I visited England's most western point a few years ago and was not disappointed. It was kind of cool to be at the edge of the world.
Penzance - As in Gilbert & Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance. I still find it hard to believe that palm trees grow here.
Torquay - Home of Fawlty Towers. Watch an episode of possibly the funniest sitcom ever by clicking the link.
Bridgwater - Birthplace of my mother and burial site of my maternal grandparents.
Stonehenge - On the Salisbury Plain and usually my desktop screen saver. I visited here when I was little and was still able to climb on the structure itself. Now it's all fenced off.
Leaving the West Country and heading to Hastings. History buffs will recognize the significance of this city and the mystical date of 1066. The rest of you will just have to wait for my next report . . .
