HierophantX Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Just got to England. I'll be living somewhere between Huntingdon, Peterborough and Kettering. Anyone in the vicinity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soltakss Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Nice place to live. That's where I come from, but haven't lived there for 30 years, but you'll enjoy the peace and quiet.

HierophantX Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Seems absurdly charming. A place like Oundle can really turn an American's head. If all goes well tomorrow I may be living in the former rectory of a 15th Century church by the end of the month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankcam Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) I envy you. Living down here in Australia we never find any architecture older than 200 years or so. I'ld give anything to go visit a castle or stay in a medieval township at present. Enjoy the UK!

rsanford Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 A few years ago I took one of my friends visiting from England to see the Spanish missions in San Antonio. If I remember correctly these were built around 1758 and represent some of the very oldest structures in the U.S. My friend seemed to enjoy visiting the sites but he was clearly not impressed. When I ask him about it he said he had been to pubs older than 1758 and they were much more nicely done. If I envy anything about the UK or Europe for that matter it's their history and culture.

nclarke Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I enjoyed the California Missions when I visited them but your friend was missing the point. These Missions were built by pioneering Jesuits who didn't have the infrastructure that they would have had in Europe and the Missions are more interesting as an example of transferring the concept of a sacred space to live and work in into a structure that works in a Spanish-American environment. 3 Quote Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
