Hi Ron
yes we live in East Anglia, 15 minutes from Dedham, and 20 from Harwich where the Captain of the Mayflower lived, his house is still standing as is Samuel Pepy's and a house where Lord Nelson lived.
Groton is a village not far from here where the Winthrop family who were the first govenors of Massachussits came from.
I always find it interesting when we are in the USA to see the names of English towns, mainly in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.In fact on our way back from Sidmouth we drove through Pennsylvania in Somerset! Small world?
Next time you come to Sidmouth you are both welcome to come visit and see this part of the UK.
