Mitch, this is my favorite image. Maybe it tis to my Irish heritage, or do to the trip I took to Ireland when I was young. I just love the countryside there. I know Stuart is British, but my favorite part of the UK that I saw was Wales. It is actually his favorite part too. #8813580

Thank you very much, Amanda. My husband's Scottish, and we went there many years ago but just barely touched on Wales. #8822874
