I wish to nominate-

Lancashire -Sue Bristow

Norfolk - Lyn Brant

heres how to play, above are our counties, in the POE column on the left click on counties, then picture tour that county, the best photog would rate for that county, put his/her name on the list til we have the whole list full.

This will also encourage members to search through the counties for the best photos, even our overseas friends will soon build up a geographical picture of England in their minds to teach to their famlies lol.

Have a go whilst you are doing nothing lolSmile

Rutland, Maria, is a small county bounded by Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Lincolnshire.  On Michael's list, the County of Middlesex doesn't actually exist anymore as most of it was absorbed by Greater London.
