The Clwydian hills sound beautiful. I just looked them up and am ashamed to say I have driven past there a number of times and not explored. Next time! Thanks for the tip. Thanks Elizabeth.

Don't know if you are considering doing anything about some of the secret places in the UK but if you ever do you should have a look at where we live in the Clwydian hills, no one has ever heard of it but it is just fabulous, and empty.

I like the simple layout, and am getting familiar with all of the plug-in options. We'll see how long I keep this template :-) Have you visited much of northern England in your travels over here? Hi Dena, thanks for stopping by and posting. Yes, you describe Lancashire very well - bleak beauty. It's a lot more rugged than down south, and the buildings look more weathered and worn. But it has a charm that is easy to miss, even if you're in sunny Spain... Cheers Andy Thanks Keith. I like the simple layout, and am getting familiar with all of the plug-in options.

It's not only tourists from abroad that don't realise the delights of the Northern England. Years ago when hubby and I first married, some of his family were amazed that we had countryside in Lancashire! They really thought it was all like Coronation Street! And they only lived just over an hour way in North Wales! I live in a lovely part of Spain now but still sometimes long for the Pennines which have a bleak beauty of the their own! And as you've mentioned some great cities too. Great site you have here. Thoroughly enjoy it.

Goes to show that there is so much more to England than just London...but we already knew that didn't we? ;-) Congrats with your new site. This was the template I used before. Absolutely loved its simple but very pleasing layout. Cheers, Keith Hi Andy,
