The resemblance is striking, partly because of the use of colours and also because of the shape of the hills. <br /><br />I know West Berks well and the area of Wilts around Swindon and Devizes, but I don't know it so well towards Salisbury so hadn't heard of Chilmark. Next time I'm in the area I will go and have a look. <br />It was really interesting to hear your take on this particular prompt.Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-53712451876771875092012-07-08T15:39:32.794-07:002012-07-08T15:39:32.794-07:00I loved reading the story of your Chilmark and the...I loved reading the story of your Chilmark and the memories it holds.
