The old folks at home, yes indeed the Stephen Foster classic.  It is the Suwannee River.  Nice touch on the highway sign is the few notes of Foster`s tune.  Next please.

Yarmouth, Isle of Wight.    This was the drug bust fishing boat in the background, the Fairey in foreground was Meester Bond heading up to Scotland for a film.   Where do they get those giant spoons ?

Don't be fooled by the sign Arrow, it's not Cambridge, it's further south than that. A clue, it's in England's oldest borough.


I'll put up some Aussie pictures next time O0
