It tells the story of how…

    Please see more photos here ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://youtu.be/XkEjT3fJWpM We had a bit of a lie-in today due to the travelling catching up with us yesterday.

    Amsterdam 23-24 October 2022

    Please see more pictures here ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://youtu.be/SBI6BVPXEzk The flight from Heathrow airport was delayed by half an hour or so.

  • London Birthday Trip, Tributes to Queen Elizabeth II and the Proclamation of King Charles III

    When it was suggested, many months ago, that my birthday weekend should be spent in London , little did I know what a special weekend it would be. Unfortunately Her Majesty had passed away on 8th September, so we felt a little sombre and I must say I did feel a little guilty for my…

  • San Francisco Day 16 070822

    Please view my video showing todays pics ⬇️ https://youtu.be/DS5nMvERZTI Today was mostly about getting back to San Francisco and enjoying our last night there.

  • South Lake Tahoe Day 14 050822

    Please click on the link below for a video of today’s pictures ⬇️ https://youtu.be/LQmW7Ws_MPo Unfortunately the weather forecast for today was spot on. So, I thought today’s instalment would be very brief, with nothing to write about. It was grey, miserable, cool and pouring down with rain. Even the cleaner blasting out Sade on her…
