She even came to our Stitch & Bitch gathering! While we were talking about her allotment and chickens and ducks, etc., the subject of pubs surfaced and this lady thinks that the banning of smoking in pubs was the beginning of the end for all pubs in her part of England. Is that your opinion also?<br />Peace Thymehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361079101751470855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-65013200668199150962015-03-23T09:03:30.970+00:002015-03-23T09:03:30.970+00:00"Gympie" sounds like the way you might f..."Gympie" sounds like the way you might feel after eating suspect seafood!

They seem to be more about business than community. English city centres are still people-focussed with shops and markets. Poorer English people just don't have cars and come to city centres vis public bus, tram or train. As for pie and pea suppers - they make a great evening meal - especially if the meat pies and mushy peas are homemade. There'll be gravy and mint sauce too. That particular supper is a fund raiser for the church.

Seems like businesses here are more easily recognizable. I feel that I could drive by a dozen of your stone buildings and be clueless as to what business is inside. Do you have city centers similar to ours?

The cross you snapped does look similar. There are many around England. I always wonder about them. Who made them? Why our forbears went to that effort and what happened around them.
