Apologies for the delay - home laptop has died.
Jasmine was right with Chipping Sodbury. Apparently is one of the claimants for the widest high street in England.

Well, that was a lucky guess. I couldn't find very much on wide high streets but there was loads on Mop Fairs!

This place was built in the middle of an island around 1000AD. Charles I has connections with this place but its most famous residents now are not people!
We're in the UK!

This place was home to one of America's most respected authors.
This person lived and wrote here for more than ten years. The author was a Nobel Prize winner. It is now a museum and home to a large number of cats, about half of which are polydactyl.

Is that Havana, Cuba? Ernest Hemmingway's place? Or not, cos i can't think why that's topical at the moment |
