This is great. I love how you can see the fresh water runoff from great rivers (Amazon, Congo, Ganges, Mississippi), plus fjord/meltwater outflow from Norway and Greenland

Ginette is three days younger than my Dad, who was fortunate enough to have been born in the UK and therefore spared the horrors. I doubt cousins whose grandparents chose to remain in Russia or Poland survived.

  I have now lived in the British countryside for most of my five decades on earth, within which time I have come to know it well. I thought, for newcomers to the place, I'd write a short guide to some of its more interesting aspects. You will find them in this thread. 1. EXCITING VILLAGE EVENTS.
