Have dreams, will travel
Wandering about to seek out street art is something I enjoy. Meandering at my own pace, nipping in and out of side streets and alleyways, combing out images made by modern-day artists. Some are weathered and show signs of age, others are large, looming, and full of life. Odd, beautiful, quirky, bold, comedic, sad, vibrant... Continue Reading →
Many of my travels are not grand adventures. In fact, much of the time it is simply about walking about and seeing new-to-me places. Nothing exciting yet still enjoyable for me. In some cases, I wander around one small area or neighbourhood taking it all in. Other times, I cover as much ground as I... Continue Reading →
Well here I am at Tenerife North Airport waiting for my flight to Lanzarote to depart. I know my trip is about 2/3 done and I haven't posted. It happens at times when on the go. I have to say part of this trip hasn't lived up to my expectations. No worries, nothing horrible has... Continue Reading →
I am off travelling again soon. Like in 3 days soon! I'm very excited to head off to London and then the Canary Islands. I call it my City & Sun trip. As a result Sunday Special won't be posted until I get back. But I will post photos of some of my travels so... Continue Reading →
One of the regrets I had when I was on my big trip was that I never made it Oxford, England. I spent a week in the London area and it is only 92 km / 57 miles away with frequent train service. I easily could have spent a day there (or more). Well, another... Continue Reading →
Another Top 5 for ya! This time round will be my favourite countries that I've wandered about. This differs from my favorite cities because in many cases I have only seen one city within a country. This in turn does not always give me a feel for the whole nation. Of the countries listed, I have... Continue Reading →
JK Rowling's Harry Potter book series brought magic to life. The series and subsequent movies are loved by millions around the world. I myself am no exception. I credit my older sister with this as she left me her copies of the first three books to read after a visit back home. In my travel's... Continue Reading →
"G" takes us to England for the ever popular Glastonbury Music Festival. I'm not much for music festivals...that I'm aware of as I've never been to one. That being said, this is one that I would consider attending should I decide to take the festival plunge. This past June the festival had hundreds of stages... Continue Reading →
Ugh, I know I'm being lame in not posting this week's Sunday Special. I've had a tough week of headaches and a busy weekend. Not a great excuse but it will have to do. I hope these pictures of my time in Northen Ireland will suffice. Thanks for your understanding. All photos taken and owned... Continue Reading →
After my near miss I settled nicely on my train to Edinburgh Waverley where I then connected to a train for Birnam and Dunkeld in the Perthshire region. I came here to listen to some traditional music at a pub known as The Taybank. They hold trad music sessions every Thursday. Plus I wanted to... Continue Reading →
I have been here now a few days. I arrived safe & sound into London Heathrow but then that was when the adventures began. I purchased a Heathrow Express train ticket to get me into London in 15 min and then a short Tube ride to Kings Cross Station so I could catch my train... Continue Reading →
We must eat in life in order to survive. Sustenance is a requirement, so might as well enjoy what you eat. While on my big trip I did just that. Now of course there were times when the food was not so great - like the time I made a horrible pasta dish at my... Continue Reading →
