AS for the church I think it was valued like that for insurance purposes and so it would have been a replacement value. Yes, you could be right about the LDWA ...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes wind turbines and, like you, I did think that there was something science fictiony about the shot of the wind turbine appearing from behind the trees.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03548969874395633339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4317458159222048512.post-36240105431231531822013-01-11T21:59:04.439+00:002013-01-11T21:59:04.439+00:00Buggy-fit is a great idea and a way for new mother...Buggy-fit is a great idea and a way for new mothers to exchange info and not feel isolated in their homes all day.

There went another hour of my life into the Internet. What is 'The Fee of Conisbro"? I didn't learn much that seemed to relate to Harthill But my maiden family name is Fee. That's the word that caught my attention.

I like the photo of the two pared-back trees, it has a desolate feeling. The photos of the wind-turbines are excellent. I'm one of those who love them. It really irritates me when I hear people whining about them. We had endless protests in years gone by about the dangers of nuclear power. So along comes a clear alternative and are people happy? Of course not. Just something different to moan about. That last shot actually made me think of H G Wells' 'War Of The Worlds' (actually the Jeff Wayne concept album version, not the dire movie versions). I could almost hear Richard Burton's rich voice, as the narrator, say "....suddenly a fighting machine appeared above the trees...."<br />MitchyLRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11423634734890422795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4317458159222048512.post-37144481768345783482013-01-11T16:57:03.845+00:002013-01-11T16:57:03.845+00:00Thank you Diana ~ that's very kind.
