North central around Bradford. Bolling Hall, our namesake. Self car toured all through the area going to several castles from Scarborough on the east to areas along the west coast. Beautiful country. Great people. Week and a half there and 5 days in Ireland.
Trying to understand their form of 'English' when being slightly hard of hearing anyway was a challenge. Most of them spoke very softly. Thank goodness I had my wife and our youngest son along.
I am definitely not an expert on their word usage. Some descriptions still throw me for a loop.
The trip to the east coast of the USA we just got back from, saw original family plantation, Kippax Plantation, SE of Richmond in Hopewell dating from the mid 1600's and Bolling Island plantation west of Richmond, in Goochland, Virginia, house built in 1770's. Robert Bolling took his bride, Jane Rolfe (granddaughter of Pocahontas) to Kippax to live. They are buried there.
Anyway, off hijack.
