Someone (Katherine possibly?) posted a lovely saying quite a while
ago: "In America a hundred years is a long time, in Britain a
hundred
miles is a long way." It's true - well, the British bit anyway!
;-)))

How odd that you posted this today, Sue. Keith and I went out for
dinner
tonight, and we were discussing that very thing with our friends.
There are
people here who are amazed that houses which are 200 years old are
still
being lived in, while over your way, there are many much older! And
I have
to drive 600 km on Sunday, just to get to the ferry so that I can
start my
vacation!
It's all relative, I guess.

Indeed, bits of my crumbling pile were built either in 1608 or 1613 -
no one's quite sure - certainly the plumbing dates from that era ;-))
And I'm always finding interesting fragments of pot and old chinaclay
pipes when digging the garden.
