Take heart, be-bop... we aren't young anymore but we're still stupid.

I know that English place names on the Eastern Seaboard are not exactly uncommon, but I find the stories behind the original settlements absolutely fascinating.

I know people in Buckingham, Bucks County, nice(but expensive) place. Also, I grew up in Hampden (see Sundae's post #5).

Whereabouts is Hampden, Bruce? I can't find any reference to it in the above book.

FWIW, Hampden House is about 3.5 miles to the south west of your humble correspondent.

At the John Hampden link, in Sundae's post:
Quote:
The towns of Hampden, Maryland, Hamden, Connecticut and Hampden, Maine, as well as the county of Hampden, Massachusetts are named in his honour. Also, Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia is named in his honour and that of Algernon Sydney, another English patriot.
It fails to note the town of Hampden, in the County of Hampden, Massachusetts. Not in Bucks County, PA, but you mentioned, "English place names on the Eastern Seaboard", and Hampden has a connection to Aylesbury. Sorry for the confusion.

I've just been looking at some photos from Spring last year and came up with this one:



It is a view from the opposite side of the valley to that shown in Sundae's posting here: #195

I keep an eye on a couple of farms on a nearby estate for the manager and his wife, when they take the opportunity to get off the place once in a while. As you can see, I was giving the farm dogs a run. (30th May 2009)

Hey SG, sorry, I really wanted to personal message you but I'm not allowed to until I've proved that I'm not odd by responding to several threads in a way that is not deemed weird! (Akin to being asked to prove you're not mad)Anyway, my email is the same as it ever was (there's a song there somewhere), we both hated Cockroach Joan and you introduced me to Jasper Fforde (or certainly his books) and I was wondering how you were? Sorry to barge in, I'm still in the same hot/dusty country as I was before!

OMG! Is that my warthog?!
I was thinking about you just the other day.

If it's not you (and it would be so weird if it's not. God, you weirdo if it's not!) then you'll get a mail from me in the next 24 hours.
