This morning I was wandering round the graveyard at St Anne's Church, Brown Edge, and saw a headstone which gave the residence of the person named as 'Lion's Paw Farm'. Just the sort of thing that intrigues me especially as it wasn't marked in my map of the area.

Shortly after, I got into conversation with some locals and asked if they knew where Lion's Paw Farm was. They gave me directions and then someone mentioned that there was a cave nearby which used to be a larder. Off I went...

and then I fly out to Philadelphia. Been researching for places I can visit while I'm there and here's one place that's a must - Eastern State Penitentiary http://www.easternstate.org/
which begs the question - are there any closed prisons in the UK which are open to visitors? Off the top of my head I can't think of any.

I also came across this wonderful ghost ad which I've managed to find the location of. Another must visit for me!

While I take a break I'll leave you with some US signs, all in New York City.

We will not forget them - God bless New York and America

I've been counting the days down since I booked my flights ages ago. Flying out to Chicago on Monday 13th and going on a bit of a road trip to Boston for 16 nights; back in England on the 30th.

From my last US visit, this is 44 Crown Street, New Haven CT, an old apartment building which may be modernised into condos. At least I'm assuming it was apartments going by the number and type of windows.

Went over to Wales the week before last,up the Deeside coast.
Following my nose,I turned off the road I was walking down and discovered the Greenfield Valley,near Holywell. Here's some of the photos I took.
