I happened to hear this in a book that I am listening to & HAD to check it out. Wow. I never knew.

I think it is cool.

I never had a chance to live in Somerset but I lived fairly close by in proper Hampshire. Given that I spent a lot of time in Bristol (having been married to a lass from there (& I refuse to talk about her Bristols)) I have spent a fair amount of time in Somerset. Lovely county, and in my days had some GREAT cricket players Botham & Viv Richards among them. Home of cheddar cheese and great cider.

Wouldn’t it have been nice to have New Hampshire & New Somerset side-by-side.

I wanted to make sure you knew about this. New Somerset.
