I haven't read any of his books Joe. Thanks for bringing him to our attention. It is a very imposing monument. Is the smaller one to commemorate those lost in the world wars?
Excellent in b&w. HFF and enjoy your weekend. Cheers, Rosa.

Joe, Son of the Rock club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Yes, the smaller one is a War Memorial, Rosa.

I did begin reading The Adventures of Roderick Random, but I didn't finish it.

I believe Tobias Smollett was the bloke who translated Cervantes’ Don Quixote into English. I did read that book, but it was a long time ago.

HFF and have a great weekend.

Thanks for your very kind comment.

Cheers,

Joe
