MaggieL , you seem to forget that Wales has a long history of fighting alongside the French against England . Look up Owain Lawgoch for example , otherwise known as Yvan de Galles to the French . And do not forget that the Welsh were Christians long before the English . And it was the Catholic version of Christianity until Henry started misbehaving .
Wales and France go back a long way . We feel especially close to the Bretons who speak a similar language to ours . Breton is closer to Welsh than is Irish or Gaelic for example .

Best wishes to the bride and groom once again ! And thank you for the charming photographs .

The bride's dress has a very nice pent embroidered (brocaded?) at the waist, I see. Looks like a great time was had by all, Maggie.

Embroidered with beadwork. She finished it the night before...:-)

re: post 36, Wow Maggie, before I realized what I was looking at my first thought was "Hey, Maggie jr." Then I rememberd where I was.

Beautiful children. My best wishes for them.

:) I think if there is any such thing as paradise gatherings and occassions like this have to be it. Great photos maggie. Thanks

Got Google Earth?
 

Try the attached...don't unzip, just rename to UKTrip.kmz

You lost me. Download the file, UKTrip[1].kmz.zip, rename to, UKTrip[1].kmz, then what? How does it work with Google Earth? :confused:

It won't work with Googe for two reasons....


1. The UK, aka Airstrip One, is subject to the various Homeland Securty statutes and therefore a virtual 'gray' area...

2. The ever-present rain clouds over the UK make it a physical 'gray area'

I've heard some interesting theories about those gray skies and British moods. What do you think? Is all your AntiAmerican sentiment really about weather-related jealousy? ;)

PS--aren't you up kind of late? It's one thirty over there! Hot date?

What a fantastic wedding Maggie. How kewl is that? Awesome.

It works for me. Maybe it's moron-incompatible in some subtle way.

Just do File/Open...it will become a subfolder of Temporary Places, just as if you'd loaded it from a server.

kmz==Keyhole Markup Zipped, a set of placemarks/paths/ etc. These placemarks are linked to my Flickr.

I only renamed it because VBulletin doesn't want to attach .kmz

When the annotations and explanations are more complete I'll stick it on a server someplace.

Cool. I just looked at these placemarks. Looks like you saw some pretty interesting places.

I didn't know you could save multiple placemarks under one kmz file. Neat. I'll need to play with this some.

Yes...I owe most of that to Robin, who suggested the river trip to Greenwich as what I should do having only one day. One gotcha there is that the Clippers only run to Greenwich during commute time, so anybody intending the same should plan accordingly. It still left me off at Embankment in time for some rubbernecking and windowshoping in a fascinating neighborhood until it was time to go see Blue Man Group in Drury Lane.
Yes indeed...there's all kinds of things you can do including paths and tours; I've only scratched the surface.

Furthermore, if you unzip the kmz to a kml, and put it on a webserver, you can do
http://maps.google.com?q=http://myse...g/mykmlfil.kml
And navigate the placemarks on Goggle Maps without having GE installed at all.
