No, Miss Letty, it's not on that map but a head like mine is not so far (joke)...
A head like yours, Francis? Hmmmm. I realize that must be a joke, but I fail to get the punch line. <smile> Are you talking titular head or literal head? I guess that I had better confess. When John Oak gave me those unfinished letters, I put Dunkirk then deleted it.
Well, off to get another map. Good grief!
Well, Francis and John, either my glasses need changing or it's breakfast time, as I couldn't find one place that begins with Dun####.
Must eat now, so I'll be back later and try again.
use the link and zoom on the map to search
Good morning, everyone.
I think I have it, but I'm more interested in the researching process (or, finding my way around the internet).
Try this Letty: We know that the place starts with the letters D-U-N and is in Somerset county. If you google "place names England" you will find all kinds of sites that give alphabetical lists of places -- just find all the D-U-N's in Somerset.
Now we also know that it's across the river from Cardiff, so use o&k's map link to zoom in. Francis was talking about his "head", so chances are that a nearby place has the word "head" in it.
Then if you think you have found a place, you can google "[place] Civil War" or other clues that have been dropped, and confirm that it is the right place.
(And just because I found it this time, doesn't mean that next time I won't get all tangled up in the web -- so aptly named.)
Great map site, by the way, o&k! Thanks.
Fascinating map, John, but still no luck. I have tried at least a dozen times. I know that Francis' head is a clue, but once again, it goes over Letty's head. Hmmmm. tete-Tate? I will keep trying, however.
Two words, actually, mine & head (minehead).
tico --- well done. you lay it out very logicaly. it should be, following your lead, A PIECE OF CAKE.
I'll get back to my guitar & await developments
Thanks o&k -- I've been playing this game for months and it's only recently that I've started to figure things out.
I'd like to amend my advice above a little bit.
Once you have a list of the D-U-N's in Somerset, go to o&k's map. There is a box on the upper left side where you can type in each name that you've come up with, one at a time. Once you enter a name and press "go", the map will regenerate on that name. Then you check if it is across the river from Cardiff, if there's a place nearby called Minehead, etc. If not, try the next name on your list.
Am I making sense, Letty?
Of course, Tico. You always make sense, Canuck. It's just that I am a bit dense this A.M. It more than likely has to do with my dial up as well.
I will keep trying, however, but you really ought to take the turn. I simply like to learn. Winning is not the only object of this game.
francis ----- I forgot too say very good on your 1st reply
Thank you OaK. Just trying to be jocous...
Well, at least I found out that Minehead is a popular beach in Somerset, England, Francis. A wonderful place to play and be jocular or jocund. <smile>
Still can't find that darn Dun, however.
Found it:
Dunster (should have been dumbster for me)
have a beer and a fresh ciggie ---------- well done
Little early for a beer, John, but...<smile>
Thanks to all of you for your patience with Florida and Virginia. (mostly)
Back in a bit with a place.
Where am I? (please denote the significance of the place as well)
Is it your family home in Virginia ?
No, John. Ragland it is not.
