Plano, Texas

I have noticed that I have a Visitor from Plano ( a "northern suburb of Dallas") and this prompted me to take a closer look at who has visited my Blog a few times now and I have to say that looking at the photograph of the place it does look quite nice, but looks can be deceiving can they not?
Haggard Park Downtown Plano

Reading the Wikipedia entry on Plano I find that it has a population of some 265,000 or about a third the size of West Sussex as a whole whilst here in Chichester the City population is a mere 23,000 or so.
The Cross - Chichester

Two very dissimilar places one very much part of a major US City and the other the County Town of West Sussex with it's Cathedral that was founded in 1075 (making 935 years old!!) - Chichester was a major "Market Town" for many years as well as home to the Roman Legions until the fall of the Empire.

So, whoever you are in Plano, share some interests with me please as it's good to see someone from so far afield taking an interest in my Blog.

Unfortunately, the first image doesn't load or click-through. Maybe Planites are a secretive bunch and zapped the photo ;)

Nice to see Chichester's Market Cross. We pop down there from time to time and phtograph everything (again!)

Hi, thanks for looking [whoever you are?] - I have no idea why the photo vanished... it is now back!

I am going to leave a gift for the foxes tonight.
