    @Whickwithy
    This is something that has interested me. I assume the times shown are BST and WW is in Maine, so 5 hours behind. I assume you posted this around 9.20pm WW? I have noticed there are phases on the board. Brits in the evening and then our colonial cousins late night/early morning with comments to be found next morning?

    UT's right, Kat.  I'm in Maine and it was about 9pm.  Funny thing is that is very late for me.   And, while concerned for your turtles, no, I wasn't losing sleep over it, though I did stay up godawful late last night.

    It's finally getting there.  It's been the longest winter, but I think spring has sprung.

    Never been to Maine. It is on our list for fall trip to see the leaves in Vermont and pick up New Hampshire and Maine at the same time at some point. Closest we gave got was Boston last year after going to a gig at Madison Square Garden (Muse). We were there the week the bombers struck and only just got out on the Saturday morning of the big manhunt before they found him in the boat. We then went down to Cape Cod, stopping at Salem for a Witch fix. Found a fantastic little doughnut shop in Salem that made doughnuts that looked like cheese burgers and hot dogs. As you put it in your mouth, your brain was saying 'cheese burger' but your taste buds were saying 'doughnut'. Weird.

    Just a point of note UT - we escaped on Friday and this was centre of Boston during rush hour - just needed some tumble weed and newspapers blowing around.image 

    Oh and this was the cheeseburger doughnut from Ziggy's!

    Mrs Ziggy Senior was a lovely woman. I think she wanted to adopt Mrs A.

    If you look carefully in that top picture of Boston, you can see a couple of Zombies.

    By far and away, the place to visit in Maine is Bar Harbor.  If you like woods and stuff, the other part of Acadia park on the other side of Frenchman's Bay is quite nice.  If you're driving through the Portland area, let me know, and maybe I could show you a few things, though I am a terrible tourist guide and I'm not terribly enamoured with my area as a tourist stop.

    That's a remarkable picture of Boston.  What a feaky time to visit!

    Especially when you realise that is 8 - 8.30am on a Friday morning.

    I live near Boston, but the one in the UK. I'm often to be seen walking my dogs along the estuary from where the pilgrim fathers made their escape bid. It's a nice place, quite a contrast to Boston US I imagine. There is a little ( tiny) village round here too called New York. It tickles me that American tourists come to check it out. They must be so disappointed. There're about 30 houses, an empty church, a crossroads, wheat fields...and that's it. No dodgy burger shops !

    A Boston and New York in England??!?!  Wow!  Personally, I love the idea of tiny villages.  If you have ever seen "Twilight", that little cottage that was given to Edward and Bella is close to my idea of perfection, though I'd rather it be made of stone.
