Send me the links and I will add a Featured Lens module to my Bournemouth lens about famous people associated with Bournemouth. Greg Lake (of ELP) went to Poole Grammar School (my high school), although several years ahead of me. Benny Hill spent the wartime years as an evacuee in Bournemouth too and attended Bournemouth School. I could probably write enough to make another lens... Great.

As you know, I've been making Lenses about the members of King Crimson, and many of them are from Bournemouth and other parts of Dorset. In the latest one, I actually manged a clip of John Wetton (King Crimson, U.K., & Asia) performing in Bournemouth with Asia - he's looking good for someone who had open heart surgery less than a year before that clip. Grats on LOTD!

I have waited almost a year to get my first LOTD, and I felt sure that Bournemouth was worthy, it just took 8 months for it to happen. Thanks in part to friends like you who have helped keep me going and who have helped in promoting and featuring my lenses. I've Been There is sadly struggling, hard to believe but it's floundering for some reason. I had hoped that more people would notice it, but as long as it stays in the Top Tier I will be happy. Looking forward to your contributions to I've Been There. If you don't have your own lenses, you can pick someone elses, and then let me have updates later. It might help motivate people to create more lenses about places. I don't envy you at having to scan those old photos. It takes forever. It does help preserve them though. Hopefully they haven't turned a funny colour over the years. Thanks so much both of you.

I will contribute at some stage - problem is that all my travelling was done before I had babies 3 & 4 - pre-digital, so it looks like I have some scanning to do, once I have tracked the photos down! Oh and LOTD! Woohoo! Well done. I think I’ve been there is a great idea for a lens.

Our air conditioning has been off since early September and the heat ON since sometime in October. We had one very early snowfall although all of that is gone and now we are having Indian Summer here in Ontario! Brenda Of course you are all talking in Fahrenheit and I am living in Celsius!

I am really grateful for the pictures. It's hard finding 30 good ones in a category. It took even longer to find good funny dog video clips, but the ones I found of dogs on trampolines seem to have gone down very well at least. Now the lens just needs some T-R-A-F-F-I-C !!!
