SgtDel - Dunster is a quaint village. 5 minutes and your out the other side! Some of the scenery down that part of the country is superb if you can see through the rain

I'd do anything to spend time in Dunster to go check out their marriage/death/birth records.  That's where my 6th great grandfather is from and I want to tie that line to the Barnstaple line.

Always a room here m8 if ya wanna stay     although ZZZzzzomerzzzet and Devon (we dont use the 'shire) is about 3hrs drive away. Stonehenge 90mins London Town 60mins on a train- I hate driving in London

Great, now all i need is a way to get there....how about putting wings on my suburban.  Yeah, that's it.

Yeah, the 'shire part is from the old days, but it is still in some of the old books. Dorset, somerset, devon, cornwall--i believe all had 'shire on the end way back when.  If fact, shire just used to designate a locality, a county, or geographic location....we here in America got the term Sheriff from that.  Shire Reeve was the term in old America of those who collected taxes.  Shire Reeve became Sheriff.

Sorry I always seem to grab a thread and turn it into a comparrison! SgtDel - try a canoe (not a gnu)

[Lt.Del]

SgtDel - try a canoe

Yeah, I have one of those.  I'll see you in about 6 years---that'll be about how long it will take me to paddle there.
