    Rest assured, T-Man, I will only drop in when I'm home for the odd-day or waiting at airports. <ok>

    Confirmed locations in Europe are Venice, Lake Como, Delft and Amiens. We will also be visiting friends in Cumbria, Northern Ireland and Nottingham.

    Should be good. :D

    Are you heading off anywhere?

    I've visited every castle in Great Britain. :)

    I'm going to do a Super-Ten Linkster on Thursday. I've already started work on it.

    There is very little remaining of the Tudor construction, but the 16th century manor house is certainly open to the public, as it is a museum, gallery and conference/training centre.

    I used to attend meetings and seminars at Bruce Castle. Yacontcha!

    An amazing family, it was such a shame when Peter died in that snowmobile accident in 1997.

    Donald Trump's wife Melania has been accused of copying parts of her speech to the Republican Party Congress from a 2008 address by the First Lady, Michelle Obama.

    Test your knowledge of other people who have been accused of - and caught out at - cheating:

    One of six children, I was born in the USA during the second decade of the 20th century
    I worked as a coal miner before becoming a pro boxer, winning my first 15 bouts; I served with the U.S Air Force during WW2
    My 57-year acting career garnered three Oscar nominations, the last coming during the 90s, and an Emmy Award; I even found time to sing on an album by a member of Pink Floyd
    I released a book of my poetry, and I often sold my landscape paintings; I was a staunch Republican

    With English and Japanses heritage, I was born in the USA during the mid 1970s
    I attended school in Tokyo and Switzerland, and I dropped out of university to concentrate on music; my first recording came at the age of five, when I recited a poem for an album
    I’ve written six film scores, collaborated with the likes of Lenny Kravitz, Flaming Lips and Marianne Faithful, and appeared in a Michael Jackson film
    I’ve protested against hydraulic fracking, economic inequality and poverty, and I practise transcendental meditation

    With German ancestry, I was born in the USA during the 1890s
    My father was an alcoholic and our family was relatively poor, so my sister and I sold popcorn and candy at a nearby theatre; I also worked as a model in exchange for voice coaching
    My career lasted the best part of 85 years; I was awarded a special Academy Award; and I worked with many of the greats, including Bette Davis, John Gielgud and Robert Mitchum
    A road in Ohio is named after me; a US rock band used my surname as the title of their debut album; and I died just months before my 100th birthday
