a bald man in Budapest
My last couple of posts have been on the serious side, so let’s have some fun! The starting point of our recent travels was Budapest. We had spent a couple of days there a few years ago and enjoyed it, but knew we still had some exploring to do, so we decided to go back…

We’re the People
As I warned you a few weeks ago, we have been traveling. Upon return, a few days ago, I had no idea where I would begin to write about our experiences. And then, sadly, I woke to the news of Malaysian Airlines passenger plane that had been shot down over Ukraine. My thoughts brought into focus several…

To sip or snap?
I thought you might enjoy a look at the South Australian countryside (and weather!) via a trip to the Clare Valley. It was a day trip, and to be honest, five hours in the car for a three and a half hour look at some wineries and some lunch was a bit much, but that…

Dyffryn
Last July when we were travelling in the UK, we had a couple of fantastic days in Southern Wales. Most of our time was spent in gardens and enjoying the scenery. During our travels I attempted to publish posts to keep you up with things. But wanting to do justice to this beautiful place that is…

Out of my Comfort Zone
(In the last post I was uncertain if I would be here again, due to a misunderstanding between myself and the new two step authentication to improve security for my WordPress account. It appears there is still some considerable misunderstanding on my part as to what can be accessed and when, but I’m making inroads. …

A daughter’s wisdom, a mother’s musings
I’ve been travelling again. Only a short trip this time, three full days in Sydney with our darling daughter. She had promised herself a trip to Sydney, staying in a luxury hotel when she finished her Master’s Degree. And she wanted to share it with little ole me!! I know a day will probably come…

Wine Dogs of Australia (and other odd things)
Apologies up front for this post… a bit disjointed, but I thought you might enjoy these few odds and ends from our recent trip. Our American friends were keen to see the ‘real’ Australia, as well as visit as many wineries as practical. On our second day in Coonawarra we began with tasting at Redmond…
