well exactly! Generally when people come over here (myself included) all they get to see is one of the big cities. What I've always loved about England is the way that there really is SO much beautiful countryside.. if you just hunt around a little bit.
well golly! that's an animal I've never heard of. Looking at the wiki, it makes a lot more sense to be farming alpacas than llamas, so I'd say you're probably right.
St Giles' church, Wyddial (aka Wyddial parish church). It's dated from at least before 1575 (I couldn't find exactly). Description here (first one), outside pic here, service times (since I know you want to go) here.
Some of those old Englishe Churches have amazing woodwork in them. I have tucked away somewhere some photos we took in Widdicombe (on Dartmoor) a few years back...
The guys carving them must have done nothing else for months, if not years. It makes you wonder how much we as a society have lost in being so wedded to the earning and spending of mere money...
Regarding the power lines--my folks live next to lines a bit smaller than those in your pics, but while my grandfather was alive, if he came for a visit, he had to go into the house immediately and NEVER go into the side or backyard because the EM fields would jam his pacemaker. He also wasn't allowed to be within 20 feet or so of an operating microwave. Of course, this was back in the 80's, and, although they didn't change the power lines, at least pacemakers have improved in durability and shielding.
Not into horse snort?! Wow, that's one of my favorite things! *giggles*
I love this walk.. ya got the countryside, wild beasts.. including one with a feather, very British post box, bound electricity & a church built before time. *amazed*

Everyone has to eat. That never changes... or at least, not yet (but that's a whole OTHER story *grin*)
It IS incredible stuff though, I do agree.

not so scary. Didn't make my hair go up or anything. Didn't feel anything weird.
I suspect long term exposure would be a very, very different story though.

Of course, given that we are electrochemical beings (on a physical level, at least), it should be a little disturbing just by itself, pacemaker or no.

I figured everyone has already seen London, so why not show something nice about England?
I love the countryside. Any kind of nature really. Oddly, I haven't deeply connected with Australia though. Not sure what that's about.
