itchy feet solution!Got a nicely sheathed Khukhuri that can remove those pesky itch toes too
Either that or visit east and southern France!!!
Both options sound drastic!
And to back up my argument, though Red and Wayland have almost said it all...

Actually i hang around a few forums for photographers and it never ceases to amaze me how many talented photographers there are on this forum.
wildrover,
Not those ones no - the church and churchyard are more than old enough though - its a Saxon Church (c. 1020) in remarkably intact condition - a stunningly beautiful spot

There are a number of very interesting graves if you find yourself down this way - these raised brick ones in Corhampton church
An unusual one for a French Marine one would not expect to find in Arlesford

Levi Boswell, Cheif of the gypsies is burried in my local graveyard. Buried along with Gypsy Rose Lee (not the american entertainer), his wife and queen of the gypsies.
I could spend hours reading the inscriptions on graves as you find the most extraordinary people buried in the most ordinary places.
You certainly do - I have seen some fascinating ones - including a very long one describing a gamekeeper "foully slain by poachers" up in Cheshire.
The one that still brings a lump to my throat was erected by a husband to his wife of 75 years who died aged 91. It simply said
"However much I loved her, I should have loved her more"
Something in my eye again

Nice thread and some lovely pictures there.
Quite a few of my pals think it's odd that I've never been abroad, given that I do like wandering around. Have never really seen any need though. Still have plenty to see here and I never tire of the view.
There's a photo I'd love to put up but it'd just trash the thread(too wide). Here's a link to it's page on panoramic earth.

That all looks beautiful. As the saying goes though, there's no place like Home. For me, it's the North Antrim Coast. Dunloose, White Park Bay, Giants Causeway, Bushmills, Fairhead, Ballycastle.......Breathtaking.
In my opinion, and I may be biased as I like mountains, this picture is better than any of the ones posted. I have an even nicer one on a clear day in a book, but can't find it online.

That's a nice looking area, it's just a shame that it'll all soon be covered in oil drilling sites
Buy a ticket and a camera and take your own pictures.
If you can't afford to go, make the most of where you are. For me England is the most beautiful and historic country I have been to (and I've seen a fair few), but if Alaska floats your boat, scrape some money together and go there - you'll never know for sure until you visit it yourself. I remember working 2 jobs at school to get travelling cash together for the holidays and slinging on a pack when they came. Flights may well never get any cheaper so get going!

Try living there in Summer. The midges and flies will suck you dry in an hour.
I don't even try Scotland after May.
