ahhhh , now I am with you , I thought you may be referring to those measurements , they are used in the Brewing industry , we have barrels/kegs almost all are metal now but they used to be wooden , if you know anyone with the surname COOPER they come from the men who used to make wooden barrels , those measurements are accurate and the size of a Hogshead a Tun or a butt is shocking , the men who used to deliver them were called Draymen and they would use special techniques for lowering those huge casks into a cellar.

greetings Cygnus

Hahaahaaa you've missed a bunch o' stuff. I was in chat a coupla times when the site shut down, and I survived, thus dissolving my belief that chat was surely haunted

More n' more peeps are joining ev'ryday. Sometimes I wonder if this place is bustin' at the seams yet.

Welcome back

Yup....the horror of thinking some stuff in my journal was lost forever but then finding a copy of one of one of my Edgar Allen Poe-isms prompted me to breathe a sigh of relief....

But this last time or two wasn't that bad, thank God.

for an excellent web site that has reference to The shires and particularly The life and work of the Playwright William Shakespear (a man of the Shires) this is very well put together .....


http://www.pbs.org/shakespeare/locations/




Stratford upon Avon is inevitably linked with William Shakespeare. The bard was born here, spent most of his adult life in London, then retired here.



To see Stratford, the Avon and follow the Shakespeare trail you are well advised to park your car, then use a mixture of walking and bus to discover the history of Shakespeare. A two hour walk will cover the following
  • Shakespeare's birthplace, an early 16th century, half timbered building in Henley Street.
  • Down Bridge Street to Clopton Bridge, built in the 15th century
  • Shakespeare also went to school here at the Grammar School
  • Along the River Avon to the modern (built in 1932) Royal Shakespeare Theatre. There are three theatres in the complex, one of which runs the Shakespeare productions. Tickets, particularly for the classics like Hamlet, can be difficult to obtain.
  • Along Southern Lane to the tree lined approach to Holy trinity Church, overlooking the river, where Shakespeare is buried. His tomb is marked by a simple engraved stone in front of the alter
  • Near the church is Halls Croft. This is a fine Tudor house with a walled garden, which was the home of Shakespeare's daughter Susanna.
  • If you then take the open top tourist bus, you can get to Anne Hathaway's cottage, at Shottery, one mile west of the town. The cottage is a thatched house with 12 rooms, where Shakespeare is thought to have courted his future bride.
  • You will find that the bus, which follows a circular route, is a convenient way to see everything. The ticket enables you to get on and off at will. You just catch the next bus when you are ready

Hello, Cygnus

I don't have a brain-stretching or scintillatingly exciting question for you right now. Just wanted to say again how cool it is that you're back online. Unless, perhaps, you'd like to tell us about your first Easter after becoming a Christian?
