ClaireTalon said:None of the above. If possible, I'd love to visit Falls Church, where the fictional Character of Nelson DeMille's novels The General's Daughter and Up Country lives. Hell of a sexy guy ;-).
In fact, I lived at Falls Church for almost a year. I loved it, was a great place to calm down and have everything settle within me, but he wasn't home :-(
naughty said:Actually, Rivendell may have been inspired by Avalon...
dong20 said:Wasn't Avalon where where Arthur was taken to be healed when he was dying? so either way I guess there's a connection...Some say Camelot was built where on the site of what is now Cadbury Castle near Glastonbury...must be true cos we all know legends are built on chocolate foundations.:tongue:
dong20 said:I always had a soft for the west country, and especially Cornwall. I was in Cirencester last week and was going to make a detour via Stonehenge on my way home but was running late. It has an eerie feel to it, not sinister just odd.
If you've ever watched (or read) the French Lieutenants Woman you'll probably understand what I mean.
I love the idea now, but as a kid the legend of 'The Lady of the lake' gave me the creeps, it always reminded me of that final scene in Carrie...I hope that didn't sully your image..

naughty said:I believe that was the old woman in the shoe who had so many children she didnt know what to do....
naughty said:How fabulous!
That is definitely on my lists of "must see's". I would love to do a Thomas Hardy walking tour. I think my vision of Stonehenge was most poignantly remembered from Hardy's "Tess of the D'Urbervilles". I do love "The French Lieutenant's woman" as well .
No, you have not sullied the legend for me. I love most things Arthurian...it is really wild that the early settlers from my part of the country came from Devon and on certain isolated islands off the coast you can still hear a slight lilt... A lot of "Pen..."surnames still survive as well...
Yes both!mercurialbliss said:More geekiness ahead: The Shire or Rivendell.
Gisella said:Yep that one! Thanks Naughty!!! :tongue:
dong20 said:Duh, sorry I am so stupid, yes Naughty I meant Tess of the D'Urbervilles, I got my novels in a twist, I just found my copy of French Lts Woman and it was in my mind to re-read it. Not much room in my head for more than one thought.I love the ending (Tess)....That misty dawn at Stonehenge..wow!! Even if she was only waiting for the Police to arrest her.
