See that can give a fresh appreciation for your surroundings too. You can see beauty you didn't know was there through a camera lens. I think that's why I love photography. You can shut everything else out and really focus in on the moment or the scene or the subject.

That church of yours is a stunner. I would ask you to show us inside but I don't want you melting when you cross the threshold! Come to think of it you must have some super strength sunblock on to be daywalking like that!

Quote from: Sephirah on April 10, 2026, 02:32:26 PMYeah, but I mean Sarah, where you live is like... so awesome. It's all the places you wouldn't mind a holiday I guess.

Other than Alaska. I mean... outside of Antarctica (if I could move there I would tomorrow).

Where I live might seem quaint, but it also has quaint people. People who... don't like other people. If you've ever seen "local shop for local people" from The League of Gentlemen It is very much like that.

Careful Lauren, You might scare our american friends with that one. That's a local video for local people! We'll have no trouble here!

Hey, if you want to talk about treating an American poorly, how about the movie AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON?

We all get bored with our hometowns periodically. That is why vacations were created.

 I did the "Emma in Manhattan" photo theme because I was bored with NYC. As Emma, in changed my perspective of the tourist spots.

Ha! Love that movie even though it scared the pants off me when I saw it as a kid. I'm still scared of werewolves and I think that might be where my fear of bears comes from! But the Villagers all turning around and staring? That's not because they were American it's because they "aren't from round 'ere"! Townies get it too.

Yeah I do. Makes cricketers look a little bit tame. I don't really tan. I am either single cream, or lobster. I don't really go bronze, or worse... Tango Trump. I have been known to get sunburn when it's overcast. I wish I were kidding.

I kind of need to work out how to do the photography more. I only have an iPhone. And only today worked out how to zoom in by pinching the screen out, haha. I am too used to the whole Kodak, "take the film to the chemists and wait a few days."

What can I say, rocks are nice. :)

I love American Werewolf in London, too. I still maintain there has never been a better werewolf transformation scene in any movie since. That soundtrack. It just works. The sequel was rubbish, though.

There are literally pubs like that, though. I had one near me, before it got turned into houses. The kind of thing where you walk in and there were a bunch of people in flat caps... even the men. And everything went silent.

To be fair, Emma, New York is a quite amazing city, but we all know what the most amazing part of it is when you post your pics. <3

Has anyone ever done a narrowboat canal tour?  It really looks really interesting and definitely beats my daily NYC subway ride.

Alas no. I mean it's kind of similar though, except on a narrow river. They always reminded me of waterborne caravans. I went on one that someone converted into their actual home, though. A very... small, cramped home. But hey, coming from a submariner... how much space do you really need?

Charlotte might have she's from Norfolk way I think.

Around Norfolk it's only rivers and broads. The rivers are much wider than canals so use normal river boats. Of course I've spent large amounts of time on the rivers and broads when younger including some overnight sleeps. It was fun operating the boat at one point including a sailing boat. That was much harder work!

Not been on the canals with narrow boats. You're likely to need to operate locks if you're travelling on them.

I'd seriously recommend you to visit Norfolk sometime. You would love the broads as it's truely unique in the UK. But also Norwich with all its history and castle in the middle of the city.

I always thought it was a Can Can troupe...

In my defence, though... it was. >_>

By, that took a bit of googling to find out what you were on about! Lol!

SG, I had to look it up, too. 

Charlotte, I loved this quote: "You would love the broads as it's truly unique in the UK."  In Brooklyn, we have broads too...

"I spent two years a broad...I still have no idea how to walk in high heels."🤪

I have been sleeping extremely sporadically, lately. My dreams are wild and sharp. I dreamed I came here to talk about mouse flavoured creamcakes. Had to check my internet history to make sure I didn't. Not even kidding. Things are so... things... that sometimes I can't tell whether I am awake or dreaming. I feel on the edge, all the time.

I am sorry to people who think it's weird. It is weird

I am not this angel some seem to think I am. I am human like everyone else. I hurt, I break. I have bad days. I can't grow flowers with every step.

I just... I am sorry. Sometimes I wonder what the point is.

Sorry... I needed to get that out. It's all good.

Yeah, we moderated that post. Just kidding!

That must be rough, and I don't mean to make light of it. Hang in there.

Love you, Lauren!

No need to apologise! You struggle just like the rest of us do. And you definitely are an angel...to me at least! I been having some weird dreams too though not quite like that.

Sending you plenty of love and hugs.
