I don't know several of the films, petro, and although I've been to England, I don't know enough about the locations to picture them in the way I would like. But thanks for reminding me of your beautiful country in general. I loved it when I was there (not long enough, sad to say).

And of your titles I've seen, I really appreciate these: 'A Taste Of Honey' (1961), 'The Family Way', and 'Equus' (1977), especially the first two. I'd hoped Hayley Mills would have had a full-blown adult acting career after 'The Family Way,' but I guess it wasn't meant to be.

I moved around a bit when I was playing in bands. I've been more settled these last few years. Some places I didn't stay long but it was nice seeing the country. I feel my heart belongs to Manchester as those were the best years of my life.

I do like those three films alot. I've not really seen any of Hayley Mills' roles from when she was a child. I've seen 'Pollyanna' (1960) once on tv and 'Whistle Down The Wind' (1961) is a good movie set in Lancashire. I like Paul McCartney's music for 'The Family Way'. 'Twisted Nerve' (1968) is another excellent film from director Roy Boulting that pairs Mills with Hywel Bennett.

I've never visited America but that's my dream. If I was wealthy and presented with an opportunity to live and work in America for a couple of years, I'd begin in Minnesota and travel through Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan, finally settling in Ohio. That'd be awesome. Then I could get a season ticket for the Browns.
