I just looked that up JHW, and I see it's in Cheshire. Bill Bryson finds the hilarious place names of UK so intriguing. ('Notes on a Small Island' and 'Mother Tongue') Didn't know you were from Naaaarwich bor! We're nearer to Dairem (not far from Spaaaaarham), and before that lived in Nooton. (Sinfaze) When I first looked at a map of our village and the surrounding area, I was amazed at the amount of water. The Wensum, numerous lakes and streams, pools and ponds. No wonder we get so many water birds here.
