Back in Amsterdam again in August last year, Chris & I had a grand day out. Here’s what we did – in photos. I know we can’t go much further than our front doors at the moment, so I hope that these photo walks are a welcome change from all the doom and gloom. Stay …
The Changing Seasons post, hosted by Su at Zimmerbitch. What crazy times we are truly living in at the moment. Who knows what the next few weeks or months will hold for us, but I hope everyone of you is safe and healthy. I had a quiet February, but I learned a few interesting things. …
There are some lovely sights in Amsterdam, not least the buildings and monuments and the eclectic mix of architectural styles. When in Amsterdam, I love to wander around the city. There’s always something new to see. Have you been to Amsterdam? What do you like to do?
The Changing Seasons post hosted by Su at Zimmerbitch. Well, what a start to January 2020! The very first day of the new year, I got to spend a glorious day with my best friend and life partner – Chris! (He loves it when I call him my life partner! Hee hee) We both used …
A lovely part of Rotterdam is the Maritiem District where you can learn of the city’s maritime history. For more information, check out the website. Or, you can just wander around with your camera, like I did. I hope you enjoyed the stroll!
On a sightseeing day around Rotterdam with my tour guide – Chris, we walked down to the river Nieuwe Maas (New Meuse) – a distributary of the Rhine River – which divides Rotterdam into north and south.

On a walk around the city of Rotterdam, there is plenty of greenery to be seen. The trees are fabulous, the canals are pretty, and the birds are just chillin… So, yes, Rotterdam is getting prettier and more interesting by the minute…
My first impression of Rotterdam was that it was a dreary, industrial city with not a lot to see and nowhere near as pretty as Amsterdam. Having been there a second time, I have since changed my mind and it’s growing on me, but when I went to visit Chris in March last year, I …
While I was in Valencia last year, I was on my way to meet my friend and I came across the Serranos Gate or Torres dels Serrans (in Valencian). I had some time to kill, so I went to explore. The Serranos Gate was 1 of 12 gates that made up the city walls of …
When in Valencia, a fabulous place to visit is the City of Arts and Sciences or Cuidad de las Artes y las Ciencias. One day, I had arranged to meet my friend, Mark, and as I walked along the dry Turia riverbed, suddenly, I saw these huge buildings looming up in front of me. If …
I love street art! Wherever I go, I always make a bee line for it if there is any about. When I was in Valencia in January 2019, the streets of El Carmen are full of street art. I spent a good couple of hours wandering along the small alleys and streets in search of …
