The roads on Garway Hill left my old heart just pumping extra hard.

I do, however, like to see places through the eyes of others. (Your photos are enticing and could just about talk me into a trip across the big pond.)<br />The drystone walls have always been a favorite of mine and my hubby's. We even wanted to have the American version for our flower bed but were told that without a lot of work... couldn't be done.

Such an adventure : ) We used to tell newcomers (from the US) to know right from the start they'd probably lose a mirror or two and also a couple of tires. Always tough to judge the actual distance between curb and car. There were a couple of spots we drove thru regularly that I'd tell my girls I felt the need to just close my eyes and go for it : ) Those narrow roads with the hedgerows alongside are actually more easily navigated in the dark-at least you know when someone is approaching!Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727615822243830106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-91249343078331478892012-10-19T09:57:41.605-05:002012-10-19T09:57:41.605-05:00Oh my goodness, I LOVED this post!

It's pretty crazy, but the natives are used to it I guess. lolCranberry Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758563068581561194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-75467321946838329052012-10-19T09:17:14.167-05:002012-10-19T09:17:14.167-05:00I so love the Anglophile Fridays!
