I do hope your 58-year-old leg is better now.<BR/>I enjoyed your walk, especially the flower shop :) There's such history in your corner of the world. You're much older than us ;)<BR/>It's just a year since I slipped on ice in our driveway and fractured my right shoulder. Not a good idea at all. We missed our grandson's 4th birthday party, but made it to his 5th this past weekend. I'm walking extra carefully this winter.Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-8058975390654121262009-02-17T22:58:00.000+00:002009-02-17T22:58:00.000+00:00I thoroughly enjoyed that walk: I love silver birc...I thoroughly enjoyed that walk: I love silver birches.

But, lucky us -- I love it when you have pictures of your area -- even if you do make me homesick (funny term -- although it's not my "home", you know what I mean!) <BR/><BR/>You're so lucky to have such beautiful old buildings with a history to tell. I was going to comment that around here we have an old fort from around, maybe the early 1800's -- so I decided to go look it up and get the exact age, only to find out it's a replica!

I had to chuckle at your comment: "a chapel was founded here in 1128 but the present building has been there only since 1429" - ONLY since 1429? I live in western Canada and our house was built in 1909. It's considered old at one hundred years!<BR/>Hope you didn't hurt yourself badly.
