Wiltshire. Home of the Malfoys.

Also, the location for Stonehenge.

And, weirdly enough, Swindon, which is, I believe, where Miss Thursday Next is from.

Hmmm.

Yes! Wiltshire IS the home of the Malfoys!

Except, apparently, for Dr Bernard Malfoy, who is some form of research-director at Institut Curie in France (having been involved in, for instance, breast-cancer research).

You're psychic, Fran.

Heidi, did you see this? *grins*

I actually learned something today. Whoa.

Hehehe. zed_adams recently made public a pic of herself chasing Sheep while t00bing with dancingrain and frances_potter in Wiltshire last November. I am now convinced those were MALFOY SHEEP. And she has such fun in the picture, too! :D

Also, where I am right now. When I first read that I almost choked to death.
(Swindon is a bit of a dump, as is Trowbridge. And Avebury and the Long Barrows are better than Stonehenge.)

Ooooo.. I'm a big fan of Thursday Next. I can't wait for the next one to come out.

Hope you are the family are well.

Hugs,

*has image of Thursday Next visiting the Mansion and falling into one of the books*

Damn.

Ooooh... *remembers she's been to Wiltshire a few times* If only I'd known... I would've stopped by to say HI...

You know, I met someone the other day who comes from chipping sodbry...

I'm lost in a good book

Thursday Next is my hero. JK Rowling should take note of how Jasper Fforde writes cool female characters - Thursday could kick Tonks' ass any day. :D

I was so pleased about that! Admittedly, I'd been plumping for Dorset, but 1) it's only a few miles over the county boundary 2)the prophet's research is notoriously shoddy and 3)probably the Wizarding world doesn't recognise any Muggle boundary changes since 1692, so for all I know Malfoy Intrinsica is in wizarding Wiltshire and has been all along, even if it's in Muggle Dorset.

You may be amused to know that Swindon has a truly bizarre traffic feature which is locally known as "the Magic Roundabout" which is one large central roundabout, and seven or so mini-satellite roundabouts around it, each with their own priority system. Talk about Confundus charms!

...and a stone's throw from....

Somersetshire, which is of course where Remus lives.
