I can’t seriously believe that no-one’s doing a Portsmouth Daily Photo.
It was settled in 1630, so there’s lots of Olde Stuffe including Strawberry Banke, an outdoor history museum.
It’s got a brewery
It’s got a good independent bookshop
It’s got a GREAT record store
It’s got a professional theatrE company
It’s even got a submarine
And just across the Piscataqua river in Maine, you’ve got Kittery where – if you’re really lucky – you’ll bump into Paul, Lucy and Lauren, guerilla snowman builders.
They were just putting the finishing touches to this fine example of snow recycling, complete with the traditional carrot nose, courtesy of Anneke Jans.
Which is where we saw Paul and Lucy again, propping up the bar as we left after dinner.
So if anyone’s got some spare cash and wants to sponsor a residency for say…5 years…, I’ll gladly palm this here site off to Helen and rip on over.

>Great idea–the pick a blog out of a hat. Love the photo and the snowman.
>Maybe we should all toss our blogs into a hat and pull out names. We can all cover someone else's place for six months or so. That would be fun.
>Great snowman!Kate's wish is my command…
>You outdid yourself today by providing all those links. I dutifully visited every one of them, without reading the entire narratives, however, but learned something about one of your favorite spots. Is this an example of "the grass is always greener?" Cannot imagine you living in a town with a population of 20,000 plus. You just might fit in, though!! PS. Tell your friend Helen that we'd like to hear more from her.
