My Dad has obtained this 1800 Ordnance Survey map containing the Haythornthwaite (then 'Hawthornthwaite') family origins in Lancashire - the village of 'Hawthornthwaite', as well as 'Hawthornthwaite Fell [an area of uncultivated high ground used as common grazing]' and 'Haythornthwaite Fell Top'.
While in Goa we hired a car and had a lovely day at the Dudhsagar Waterfalls - second highest in India. I expect they're the only waterfalls in the world that are crossed by a train. The photo above shows the configuration better than the ones we took when a train actually crossed the bridge.

I have never felt cleaner than when I swam under the falls. The monkeys were real monkeys though.
We had a marvelous holiday in Goa in October. Here are photos from our day trip (by scooter) from Manga Beach to Tirakol Fort.
I have finally updated my "Countries I have visited (in chronological order)" web page, now with 50 countries (newest = Norway) plus nine more in which I did not spend a motionless night.
