Hey stepfam,
Some of those houses, Tudor, look like a village I went to on a field trip when I was in high school living in England. It was an art class field trip to draw or paint some of the unique buildings. In fact, the art we students produced where judged by a panel, students and faculty. The top 10 where chosen to be used as a fundraiser, Christmas Cards, later that fall. One of mine was actually chosen.

Wulf,
You bet. I remember when we first arrived from the states and seeing English roads for the first time(that I remember; I was born there, but we left when I was only 6 months old--returned when I was 13). Pictures don't really give the true impact. Taking the bus for school from the village I lived in there was part of the road was flanked on both sides by high garden stone walls(good 15 feet high). As the bus passed, I thought we were going to scrape that wall.
