How grand the little villages of the world. They are as vibrant and lovely today as they were a hundred years ago.

Would that we had the time to visit them all. Oh how fine that would be.

This particular village (Shaftesbury) was in a famous advert some years ago (1973 I believe), directed by none other than Ridley Scott, who later directed Gladiator, Thelma and Louise and other big hit films. Cool.
