Interesting you should say that, Dixon was from Northumberland. It's one of the Reiver names along with Nixon, Ford and Armstrong. I believe you had some presidents with these names.

Mitford eh, I'll Pegswood, just the other side of Morpeth. Maybe not so much rural as pit village?

Only if Northumberlanders go north to buy cheap liquor, fireworks, and get tattoos.

Some things about Northumberland that will interest those with a military interest

the battle of Flodden http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gGON83wQdk&feature=related

The battle of Otterburn http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OU72MNNT9jE

Hadrians Wall http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJisnDuyJIY

The Wall runs through the City of Newcastle upon Tyne, my birth place. I used to walk past the Temple of Mythras on my way to school every morning.

Gods country... many state this for their own area but, its only true for us. When I travel up to newcastle I still get excited seeing the tyne bridge and the skyline with St James Park.

There is a song 'I'm coming home' which always comes to mind
