    What a cool looking town. I looked in the business directory to find
    what country it's in. Looks like Tiny Tim might be carried on Scrooges
    shoulders in the snow, at the end of my favorite movie. Must be near
    the river. We have a river with that name in Connecticut, but they
    only build nuclear submarines in it. Donuts would be better. Best of
    luck to you and yours.

    Congratulations PV, to you and your daughter. What a lovely street! I
    expect you're daughter will prosper, and you will be really pleased.
    Best of good fortune to you both.

    Geez, I used to get a bad look from my Dad when I needed to borrow the
    car.

    Someday I hope to be able to do the same for my son. He's only 19 mo,
    so by the time he's ready for college I don't even want to think about
    what its going to cost. I have some vacation property I plan on selling
    when he's ready to leave the nest.

    I love the look of the town. Good Luck!

    thank you all for your kind words.

    Thame is a nice olde worlde market town about 20 mins from home.
    As it is only 45 mins to the center of london on a train its a popular
    pleace to live for city slickers as you call them.

    It took ages to complete the sale as my lil gal has no credit rating
    due to never having a credit card or bought anything on hp....as a
    result there was all sorts of red tape in the way to get the whole
    thing put in her name but we got there in the end :O)

    Amy is so excited...every time i look at her she grins like a cheshire
    cat

    The cat before Nelly was a Cheshire cat, from near Lewis Carroll's
    birthplace. We called him Cheshire Cat.
