Lori, I took this one through the car windscreen, yesterday morning on our way home, as I thought you might be interested to see a photo of the original Boston (not the one near you). The incredible Church Tower in the middle of the photo is of Boston Stump, which is a landmark for many miles around, and can in fact be seen clearly from Norfolk, on the South side of the Wash. In my opinion (apart from this tower, and an unusual five sailed windmill) this Boston is a down at heels, grubby, and rather boring little town. Having explored both Bostons, I much prefer the New World one. Sorry to be disloyal, fellow Brits, but I'm afraid it's true. More later perhaps (depending on how busy I am) - Mike.

Thanks Mike. Have you been to the States? Don't forget! You and Ann are invited....
Hi Lori and Gari. Thanks for your invitation. If ever we're in the States again (though it seems a bit unlikely, I'm afraid) we'll certainly get together. Yes, in 1988 we stayed in New England (near Georgetown - West Dummerston ???) with dealer friends - took a load of early brass over to them, then went on to stay in Boston (your one) for a long weekend before returning. It's a nice town - best of the old and the new; and Anthony's Restaurant on 4th (?) Quay is a gloriousplace for seafood.
Only it might be on Pier 5....can't remember.
