Having said that some of those gorgeous ladies from india (or is it pakistan? - I wish you could be a field guide to people!!) with their floaty skirts (saris?) and light floaty trousers (I'm sure I'm using the wrong words) look absolutely fantastic - though I don't think they'd wear the hobnails I'm sure they'd wear the multicoloured clogs!!  |

My dad's side of the family are from the Pakistani/Afghan border so im always getting loads of clothes from relatives. I love wearing them as they are really comfortable and keep you nice and cool in the summer - I have never tried wearing one with muticoloured clogs as of yet..will have to give it a go |

See I wish you could buy a field guide to people, I'd love to be able to tell by a person's facial features and bonestructure where in the world they or their ancestors came from. I suppose it would be too complicated a thing to pull together.
I wonder if you can still detect roman ancestry in modern britains if you know what to look for....
oh oops I've wondered off the thread a bit haven't I... apologies Boddie |

My favourite! I grew up running about in it...
Too many deer now that's all.
It's just a lovely area of ancient woodland to escape to. There's a fantastic 3/4 of a mile long disused railway tunnel I used to walk through as a kid, has it's own stalagtites and everything and if you stood at a certain point in the middle you couldn't see either end - which is pretty scarey as a kid! but it's protected now as it's of huge value to bats!
If you're there at night go see if there's still glow worms on the old railway line! I haven't had a chance to get down there yet this year. weekend-after-next probably! |

Last time I was there, the pheasants were really noisy and were roosting all around us. Heard quite a few owls as well.................Jon |
