Might you be thinking of Francis Walsingham, Queen Elizabeth I's advisor and chief spymaster? I looked him up and there doesn't appear to be a connection with the Walsingham family and their namesake family. Don't worry about cake - I manage to sneak off and have some with friends from time to time - e.g. I had some wonderful chocolate orange cake at Lacock Flower Festival last Sunday :P <br /><br />Joy - you get used to our left handedness after a while. I think you'd like it over here, shame you didn't get the chance whilst you were in Holland, but I suspect you were spoilt for choice on places to go over there too!<br /><br />Carrie - sounds like you've just thought of a good day out for you and Andy as well as your next holiday :)<br /><br />Rose - it's a very quaint place and quite peculiar. I suspect there's very few places like it over here. I see Victoria's answered your question already. I'm looking forward to seeing your street planting photos when you have them - this weekend perhaps?<br /><br />Mara - I like the constant surprise!<br /><br />Victoria - it's called England's Nazareth because Lady Richelden's vision told her to build the shrine like the one at Nazereth. It was built in the wrong place and legend has it that she saw a second vision of the Virgin Mary and lo! In the morning, the shrine had not only moved itself, it was much better built than the skills of the local craftsman could muster! We enjoyed Norfolk, but it is rather flat. NAH and I climbed up Cherhill (where one of Wiltshire's White Horses is, plus loads of other interesting things) on Wednesday, as we felt we needed to get up high and get a good view!<br /><br />Sherry - welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed your visit :)<br /><br />Dragonstar - let's see what can be conjured up for X shall we ;)VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-71075601271921480692009-06-25T16:10:28.750+01:002009-06-25T16:10:28.750+01:00Very interesting.

And the steam train trip must have rounded it all off so very nicely!<br />On, behalf of the ABC Team, thanks for your continued and valued participation.Dragonstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05935435587527038459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-3670370061607979592009-06-25T15:54:22.985+01:002009-06-25T15:54:22.985+01:00One of the joys of ABC Wednesday for me is all the...One of the joys of ABC Wednesday for me is all the learning!

In answer to Rose's query about the limit on intercessions, I think it's to do with the sheer numbers of pilgrims. If you want someone to pray for you, as well as everybody else, you've got to give them a chance to work their way through all the requests.<br />I must say, VP, your posts have really inspired me to spend a holiday in Norfolk. You ought to be getting commission from the tourist board!Victoria Summerleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055381807236106596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-66287258948344395312009-06-24T20:24:46.625+01:002009-06-24T20:24:46.625+01:00It's always the case isn't it, you know mo...It's always the case isn't it, you know more about other countries/regions than you do about your own! <br />Good WMarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04464946195661953578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-24624337608754774752009-06-24T17:41:07.443+01:002009-06-24T17:41:07.443+01:00I've never heard of Walsingham before; I'm...I've never heard of Walsingham before; I'm impressed if it is the second most visited shrine next to Canterbury, a place I would love to visit! I'm wondering why only 3 petitions for intercessions are allowed, though:)<br /><br />Enjoyed the photos and commentary on your last post about front gardens. Here in my area I am seeing more and more homes that have ripped up their front lawn and turned it into an entire garden. The norm, though, is still lawn with a few shrubs.<br /><br />I'm still working on getting some "about town" shots. It's been so hot here, though, that I am trying not to go out much during the day.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-37189479418117340702009-06-24T14:15:22.114+01:002009-06-24T14:15:22.114+01:00I think i need to do a wee tour around England and...I think i need to do a wee tour around England and try to find some of these little havens.

I think the fact that everyone drives on the wrong side of the road would have given me a heart attack ? LOL<br />Seriously .. there would have been so many great places to see .. let alone the list of gardens : )CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-33668785074202124852009-06-24T09:59:54.081+01:002009-06-24T09:59:54.081+01:00Now that's what I like to do sometime going fo...Now that's what I like to do sometime going for a ride on a steam train.<br /><br />I've heard of a Lord Walsingham before, something to do with Henry 8 I think. <br /><br />No cake with your tea/coffee? Bummer! But it's all for a good case. ;-)Yolanda Elizabet Heuzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506031220151023088noreply@blogger.com
