| Rhiannon, nice quote, "Folks say that no man ever saw a 'winter-borne break. It is dry one day and running the next, but its first downpour was never beheld. Many years ago watch was kept day and night for a fortnight for the breaking of the Winterborne Abbas stream. One night the watchman on duty found that his pipe had gone out. 'Bridehead-lodge - he bean't 'bove hundred or two yard - can't do any harm to get light there.' But in those three minutes the winter-borne broke unseen." I've seen it :) http://aveburytour.mysite.wana[...]ers.co.uk/Mac/Winterbourne.htm PeteG Reply | with quote |  14th December 2006ce 23:36 |
