Mathos, I hope you don't mind, but I've "grabbed" your picture of the country lane (at very top of the first page I think) for my desktop.
It so reminds me of my childhood holidays in Lancashire, when we used to stay on a farm in the middle of nowhere.
As young kids, my brother and I used to walk for what seemed like miles and miles down lanes just like that. A truly beautiful part of the world, given the right weather!
