>Where is Hay-On-Wye? Looks like a nice rurual place to me according to your description... Though I do like to live in big cities...

Hay is right on the English/Welsh border (about half way along). My farm is in Wales but the eastern boundary (for about a mile) is also the national border. Hay is small -maybe 3,000 people but is, supposedly, the town with the most books per capita in the world ( I forget the book count but it has about 23 miles of shelves!)

Don't know how you do this in Google Earth but, FWIW, I'm at : 52° 3'1.19"N 3° 5'53.66"W
