Singapore

Our view:

Light show as part of 50 years of independence.

Three great days exploring and having adventures. Last day taking in the views from the Singapore Flyer and the never ending interconnected air conditioned malls. Amazing! Such fun...

Keeping cool- and Martin's method...

The mountain and waterfall within one of the domes at the gardens by the bay.

And finally... The amazing orchids! 😀

Paris Hilights

We have enjoyed our time here. Wondered where all the people were as we have travelled in France. Well we found out - Paris!!

And looking the other direction from right up at Sacre-Coeur...amazing!

Chablis to Metz

PGreat adventures as we drive through the countryside keeping away from the motorways. Chablis...

Troyes...

Metz

There was a series of art installations all over Metz. Alll cubes. Clever. This one is at the railway station before we caught our train to Paris. 

Beaujolais country

Great trip yesterday on the Beaujolais wine trail. Super vistas and very cute villages. 

10 August - Lyon

Good trip through the Chunnel and on to Lyon. Lovely city. Mix of very old and new at the confluence of the Rhone and Saone. Lots of adventures. Huge shopping malls that just go on and on... Today is Wednesday and we're off to pick up our car. Cotes de Rhone here we come. 

7/8 A busy week- Doncaster to Portsmouth

We have had a fun week. Chatsworth - with Dot and Mic ( friends of Andy & Tracy). On to Grantham where we found a lovely wee farm b & b near Belvior Castle. Super evening views. On to Kings Lynn, Sandringham, Norfolk Lavender & Ely. Here at to catch up with Colin who guided us around Ely and hosted us overnight. 

Cambridge was next. A great tour around the university area. Look out for the cyclists. Uni students on holiday so reasonably quiet. 

On to Canterbury and a couple of nights with Steve Pallets mum - Irene. An amazing wealth of knowledge Irene guided us around the central city. All so old and historic...

Today we cruised down to Portsmouth and enjoyed wandering around Fort Nelson and the old wharf. Staying in a very cool pub in Chichester tonight - the Nags Head. Write again soon. :-)

2 August- a friends and family weekend.

Enjoyable trip south after looking around the HMY Britannia in Edinburgh harbour on Friday. What a treat...

Drove around the coast, exploring and stayed high above the seas between Whitby and Scarborough. Looked around Scarborough and York on our way to Auckley -near Doncaster.

York...

Amazing patchwork display Thanks Kafe Fassett and the patchwork guild. Unfortunately closing in October due to lack of funds.

Have spent the last day with Andy and Tracy at Dot and Mic Miller's near Doncaster. Thoroughly spoilt!! Lovely to see them all. Here we are at the Eagle & Child, local watering hole last night.
