    I will be in London from Friday through to Monday, and I'm very much looking forward to it!

  14. Gattina! I LOVE this! I had never even heard of hill figures or chalk figures before! Of course I had to read the wiki too and go off on a billion pig trails learning and learning some more! This was a fabulous post! (and I'm sO happy it ended with a DRAGON!!! Even two!) :)

  15. It's easy to keep track of how many ww's you have. Search for all the wordless wednesday posts. Add a ww label to all of them (it's done instantly). See what the system tells you! I have always numbered my ww's,though, that's how I know today's is my 100th :)
    Love the updated dragons!
    Have a safe trip back home!

  17. must be wonderful to take a hike there and trace the "long man" figure... and even more to see it from where you took the photo:)..

    i hope you're having a wonderful time there (by the way, i like the castle photo with the two dragons:))... and i cross my fingers it's not too rainy there so you can enjoy afternoon walks in the countryside :)

  22. Wow. things like that is so impressive. I simply LOVE it.

    Sorry for not being here for so long! Phust! Quite hectic life after being away for over 5 weeks! *whistles*

    I kinda got lazy too, don't get anything but plurking or short messages around, no blogposts or blog visits! Bad, bad me!

    I'll try to shape up!!!
