I am in a place (or I will be very shortly) that was once quite pretty with a lawn and various plants and bushes. It is now so overgrown that you can barely see the any of the plants, just loads of weeds. I shall be back later to tell you where I am (or was):)))))

Couldn't let you down Karen, so I googled. Apparently the mistress was Nancy Neele and she booked herself in as Teresa Neele.

Good morning all, an easy one to start the day with. I think we have guessed all the outstanding ones, just waiting for Awdrey to confirm if Chichester is right I think, but apologies if I have missed any others This city is said to be the inspiration for some of Elizabeth Gaskell’s novels. Known as the centre of the textile industry it was probably the birthplace of Chartism Dee ;-))

Sorry, I'm watching the TV. No, it isn't the Isle of Wight. It is a rather obscure one, so I had better give you a clue. It's in Cornwall.

Awdrey Is yours Chichester? (although if you've settled down with Martin Shaw, you may not reply!) I have ancestors from Chichester also. I'm sure I've seen a blue plaque for Holst, but can't for the life of me remember where! Angela

Chrissie, I was wondering if it was a memorial, as in a cathedral plaque, that Awdrey meant, if so it may be Chichester Dee x
