  • Sunday Special – Slea Head Drive, Ireland

    Since it was St Patrick’s Day on Friday, today’s Sunday Special will be a beautiful spot in Ireland. As many of you know, Ireland is my favourite country. It is beyond beautiful – a place that has captivated my heart like no other. During my first visit to the ‘Emerald Isle’ I joined a tour…

  • Sunday Special – St Pierre and Miquelon

    How do you go to Europe without leaving North America? Easy, you head to the French overseas collectivity of St Pierre & Miquelon, which off the coast of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.  So they aren’t in Europe, geographically speaking. They are however these islands are French. They have remained as part of…

  • Sunday Special – Gardens By The Bay, Singapore

    During my short time in Singapore I was happy to be able to see some of the Gardens By The Bay. This huge 101 hectare / 250 acre park has much to offer and at night is pretty glow of lights when the Supertree Grove is lit up. Although I only saw it at night…

For those who have not read about my recent loss (which was posted on the Facebook page), I carelessly left my beloved Ms Brown in the seat-front pocket when flying from…

  • Myanmar

    Hello!! Well my travel time is nearing its end. I have not been posting much, I know, but it’s a bit hard with just a phone. Oh who am I kidding? We all know I rarely post while travelling – the stories will come later. Myanmar has been good yet tinged with some gastrointestinal distress…

  • In Myanmar 

    I do apologize for not posting as much as I intended. It has been a busy & fun trip. I extended my time in Malaysia a couple of days as S and I were having so much fun. Langkawi was a bust so we headed to Malacca and then Singapore. After that it was a…
