And they look pretty sturdy too!<br />I'm so happy you came visiting and am thrilled to be following along with you! Thank you so much for your kind words about my little cat, Edward! he is such a darling and we are just so please that he seems to be recovering from this problem too. He's lived with us just a bit more than 2 months now... but we can't imagine our house without him now.<br />Blessings!<br />Ann<br />PS Your life sounds so interesting... we have a 150 year old village house needing renovation...maybe this summer...if extra taxes don't take everything! :) (Great post!)Christmas-etc...https://www.blogger.com/profile/02300341297230365524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224466266974963937.post-85800753207080882982011-01-10T16:10:14.519+01:002011-01-10T16:10:14.519+01:00The Romans did make roads that lasted!

Every British schoolboy is taught that the Romans had underfloor heating and toilets, and best of all they criss-crossed the British Isles with roads that are still there.
