man that is sweet . nice save
 

I have always been in awe of your country. My friends in Hammersmith lived in a home that was older than our country. And I miss the pubs, especially those that brew in the cellar and pump it upstairs. Becoming quite rare I understand. The other thing I miss are the gentlemen of the road and others who would gather chestnuts, roast them and then put them in the little bags and sell them for 50 pence. Had many a pleasurable walk in the winter, shelling and eating fresh roasted chestnuts. And your finds are remarkable, just gorgeous. Well done, well done
indeed...
 

Great finds!
