Thanks Stacker.

We are in the heart of England, although you might not think so when visiting.

Just been reading an article on fish and chip shops. Some charge £20 for cod and chips :-o

OK open house cos Woody is working hard whilst BA try to find out where all their aircraft and crews are scattered around the world to start again until the next strike.

So try this fish and chip shop then. Thought that I would lower the tone after classic railway stations and churches.

Château de Saumur - Maine-et-Loire, France. Fascinating collection of tapestries, paintings, faience pottery and other objets.
