I'm simply struggling to reconcile a middle-aged mind trapped in an elderly body. And architecturally, I'm still stuck on perpendicular (late) gothic, although I also find the solidity of the Norman style comforting.

It's always worth watching our heroes in an unfamiliar situation proving they really can act when you consider the difference in roles. Another nice one to spot is an an early Brian Wilde in the film Rattle of a Simple Man. It also has...

I've been there only in summer. Wouldn't attempt a winter visit. My maternal grandfather grew up in the southern foothills of that mountain range. We visited "up home" the second Sunday in August each year for the family reunion, but...

I doubt that Ohio winters were much different from south central NY. You want different, you need to head up into the Adirondacks.

As pretty as it is up there, not sure I want that harsh a winter. I know it is not the same place, I remember seeing pictures and slides my dad took (still have them) when he lived in Michigan and the Upper Peninsula and going to...

Nah, an old geezer from small town 'burbs / rural-ish, I guess. Not big farm land and not big city either, a nice medium in between. Some neighbor friends had room enough for a few horses and further down the road other friends that...

A thriller movie based on a play and taking place in Wales with Peter Sallis, Peter Vaughan and Fiona Walker. Saw it show up on Classic British Telly from the You Tube thingy. I've not seen it yet, but from the Wiki page it seems to...

Sounds like something they might listen / sing along to.
