IT DEPICTS a world their ancestors left behind when they sought a more
exciting life in the land of opportunity. But the upstairs-downstairs goings
on at one of Scotland's foremost stately homes looks likely to bring
Americans flocking back to their roots.

The upmarket reality series The Edwardian Country House is credited with
boosting the number of people touring Manderston, in Berwickshire, by 40 per
cent since it was shown on British screens last year. Now the series is
winning fans in the United States, where television networks have
experienced soaring audiences since the programme was first aired there.
Revamped under the title Manor House for the American market, the series
attracted viewers in more than a million households.

Lord Palmer said: "We're obviously delighted with the show's success in the
USA, and have already had a lot of correspondence with people who have seen
it and e-mailed us to find out more about Manderston.

I recommend seeing the movie "The Ghost Goes West", built around the theme
of a Scottish Ghost who is forced to go with his castle when some rich
American buys it, and ships it to Florida for rebuilding.

The theme is a take off from Hearst`s buying a monastery in Spain.
it remained crated until after his death but has been reconstructed
and know at St Bernard de Clairvaux in Miami. St Bernard had nothing
to do with it but an authentic monastery does exist at Clairvaux.
A high security prison is also housed within its walls.

And we visit it twice a month.

We can see the gates of the prison, and my wife holding Gaston the dog at

The good looking guy with the hat is me. Actually it
is my daughter who skippers, my incompetence at sailing
is world famous. Especially now. After Bush`s example
I no longer have the courage to fib.

I am probably falling into some kind of trap, but did you mean
"Manderley" or is Manderston some American paradise?

I've seen enough stately homes and castles thank you. What I REALLY
want to see is Albert Square in the Walford area of London. I want to
have breakfast at the "kaff", have a pint at the "Vic" and meet
Pauline, Steve, Nigel, Ian and all of the people who moved to the USA,
Canada and Australia; also the ones who are in jail or dead.

Pleae tell me it's real.

Cheers

It's called a play on words.
