Thank you very much for your lovely comments. I am glad you have happy memories of this country. I stayed at Wallingford only for a few days last summer and also found it charming. I intend to return for another visit some time in the near future.

@zunathanzu Thank you for your comments, Nathan. You caught me before I had added the missing d to Wallingford. I uploaded late at night - taking two hours - then noticed I had left out the ephemera, took the video, changed it, had to play around with the music again to make it fit, and then went to bed, at 3.30 this morning. I did not spot the missing letter then.
