    I think I have got a bit mixed up with the
    'Local view'.
    I understood it to be a view from where you live.
    Your area within walking distance.
    Although I do live in Birmingham I don't live anywhere near the city.
    O dear [​IMG] :confused:

    [​IMG] I have probably confused things by entering one from my holiday, but that view was my local view for 3 weeks & it will be again in April. It is from our Veranda there.. So... A local view for me??... Yes..?? No??

    looks like theres some confusion over, my local view, I guess we can all see it differently, I should of made it a bit more clear, its ok iff you take a pic a few miles away from your home or in marleys case she was on holiday it was still her local view, taken this month.
    I didnt mean it had to be right outside your front door, hope this clears up any misunderstanding, sorry about that.

    Surely LOCAL means the area in which you live, but if you only visit an area it cannot be your local area.
    Otherwise it makes a joke of actually having a theme in the first place.

    [​IMG] OK.. I have confused things.. We have bought this little place in Jamaica, so it is one of my "local" views for 6 weeks or more a year... We always keep our themes broad, so thought this was acceptable... I shall remove it now if it causing up-sets..!!
