Your pics so reminded me.

I don't know why they are called crosses (maybe a later post will investigate) but they are small often octangular buildings in which butter was traded in days gone be. As for the castle in Barnard - well there is a bit of one there but as all those photographs were taken through the windscreen, we were past it before I had a chance to snap it!<br />Thanks everyone.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-21304528459551074482010-08-22T17:37:45.644-07:002010-08-22T17:37:45.644-07:00I wish that there was a place on Long Island calle...I wish that there was a place on Long Island called the "pennines."Lori at Jarvis Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11228446681174977809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-38050902050811194612010-08-22T16:22:06.772-07:002010-08-22T16:22:06.772-07:00What a lovely day for a drive.
