akenaton...?

we could suggest which of all the bars in britain is the most attractive inn. it wouldn't necessarily have to be the local but we'd have to try harder than usual to be subjective

I love that bit in Hannah and her sisters where one of the sisters is going out with an architect, and there is short sequence when he takes her round some of the most beautiful buildings in New York.

One of my favourites is the Palm House at Kew. I used to fantasise about hiding among the ferns at closing time, and spending the night there.

Worcester Guildhall is one of the most impressive, and overlooked in this sort of discussion- particularly as it's in the middle of the High Street between Debenhams and TKMax :)

Some of the carvings are 17th century, and the gilded weaponry sparkles in the sun.

St David's Cathedral, in the most perfect setting.

I heard all six Brandenburg Concertos played in St David's Cathedral on a perfect late May evening in 1983. As for Achmelvich the place, that little shack of a youth hostel almost on the beach (which I haven't been to since 1976) holds great memories. Things like that matter too!

i just watched 2 programmes on bbc 2/i-player . history of our streets about duke street in glasgow and the moray estate in edinburgh. what great tv - and history; sociology; architecture; politics etc...anyway the old tenements in scotland -especially when sandblasted - are beautiful, as are the splendid georgian terraces up there. made me very nostalgic. what is the point of living by the lakes if i can't afford the petrol money to go walking there? (yes, i know that sounds daft but i know what i mean)
