Alas no, I live 120 miles away from London so not easy for me to get there, plus I'm recording all weekend so am pretty busy. Am keeping an eye out to see if he heads up to the Midlands, Nottingham is easier to get to than London as they have a store there as well.

120 miles?! Med's, out here in the Southwest United States that's considered next door! You haven't seen big and until you come out here! :)

WOW! I just checked. England alone has about 50,000 square miles, Arizona has 114,000!!!!!!

Texas has 268,601 miles! We could fit over 5 Englands in our land area!

OK you got me there but at least we get enough rainfall annually to actually have grass for yards and that makes me a living 10 out of 12 months of the year! LOL

Okay this has gone way off topic so I created a thread for it.  So now you can debate who lives in a better place :)

Or just tell us where you live and how much you love it.

Rat's, it was more fun hijaking Med's thread! 

Rain? What's that? Grass? Never heard of it.. ;)

I live in Plymouth, Massachusetts, just a few miles from Plymouth Rock, the Mayflower (II) and Plimoth Plantation.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Texas, our Texas. Where it's hotter than heck, and in the fall the leaves turn magnificent shades of brown. :P

Now don't go ta bragg'n Ktrek... ;)
Nope, Texas doesn't have the Grand Canyon...that's huge-ongo and very beautiful! One day I hope to see it for myself. :) We do have a variety of landscapes in our state: deserts,  swamps, brush country (where I grew up), forests, plains, the gulf coast and the Texas Hill Country (where Dave and I live now).  Check the links for photos... I wish I could find better quality images—guess I'll have to take them myself. :)

Out? What's "out?" Is that where the big, bright yellow thing is with the weird green carpet? :P

Nice sites there Jen! They do show the variety that's available. My favorite part of the state is where you live Jen. I just love the hill country.
