I very much envy you your life in an area with such a long history of habitation. Where I live--Oregon, USA--humanity goes back some 14,000 years, but until 150 years ago, the local population was indigenous, and they left almost nothing to tell of their lives.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-78236935993174464902012-08-27T18:37:24.406+01:002012-08-27T18:37:24.406+01:00RHYMES WITH..You're right.

An appreciation of History can put present day matters into proper perspective.<br />HELEN I remember you explored some of Hadrian's Wall during one of your visits to Britain. You were wearing a red fleece and a pink patterned shirt.<br />EARL GRAY Glad I made some little cogs turn in your noble cranium.<br />LIBBY The reason Shirley and I went up on Sunday is that we were pretty confident we'd get decent weather. If we had visited on either Saturday or today (Monday) it would have been grey and miserable. I think I chose well in picking Housesteads as the focus of our trip but you could also look at Vindolanda.<br />JAN BLAWAT You're right. Many modern day Italians seem so intent on the easy life that they're in danger of falling over but The Romans were incredibly industrious and ambitious.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-32147820831973149182012-08-27T17:46:21.735+01:002012-08-27T17:46:21.735+01:00What a difference between Romans and Italians.What a difference between Romans and Italians.Jan Blawathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06697621979002856884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-89729681382075646202012-08-27T17:29:29.390+01:002012-08-27T17:29:29.390+01:00What an example you are YP.

One must get a different perspective on present-day silliness when one has things like Hadrian's Wall and the ruins of Vercovicium so near at hand.<br /><br />The nearest thing we have at hand are a couple of historical markers about the Trail of Tears and the removal of the Cherokee Indians to Oklahoma by the U.S. government in the 1830s.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.com
