Lol - cheers... We kept meaning to take more shots, but once the effects of the vino kicked in and we got chatting, we usually forgot all about it!
Incidentally, we cracked open a bottle of wine we bought for 1E 60, in a small supermarket in a remote little village (truly excellent places for picking up bargains), produced in a nearby vineyard, and it was utterly STUNNING - as good as anything you could buy here for about £15!
We're just sorry now that we never bought a case....!!

Hi Brian,
Not sure about places in the UK (although no doubt others here would be able to make suitable recommendations), but we also love old churches and buildings in general - anything with character!Love picturesque places like this Marco , particularly old churches , which I find fascinating . We were down in York a couple of weeks ago and had a great time . Got any suggestions for similar places in the UK which are worth a visit ?
So, for you, a few more images of the old churches we visited:
