Mark is rather pleased I’m back running again as it means he can enjoy a leisurely stroll with the older pups and I can attempt to tire our youngster out. This morning we went on a glorious 5 mile run, and I honestly expected him to be tuckered out by the end but nope, he …

194 – Canne and Cezanne
Cannes So we took a more unusual approach today. Mark caught the much delayed train into Cannes for a mooch around. Marvelled at the glitzy hotels, posh shops, and beach under construction. He found some lovely street art and sculpture, ate pancakes, drank coffee and was home for a late lunch. Meanwhile, I stayed behind …
185 – Flooded Venice on a shoestring
I was awake at 5am having dreamt of my venice painting. I’d almost not bought it as I’d never been, but Mark knew how much I liked it and promised to take me (he had actually forgotten this when I mentioned it this morning lol). It was still raining but due to improve by 8am …
179 – Ljubljana and laundry
Ljubljana is only a small city of 300,000 people and relatively new so there isn’t a huge amount to see, but it has a nice feel to it and it’s great being able to walk to everything. We first took the pups for a long walk around Tivoli City Park. It’s free to park there …
170 – A glimpse of the quiet Varazdin and Zagreb streets
We hadn’t realised that today is All Saints Day (a Christian holiday celebration for those who have passed into heaven), and thus everywhere is closed, bar a few cafes. This made it especially lovely to visit Varazdin Cemetery, and until I asked a local if there was a special service going on, we were confused …

168 – Baby wild boar and spectacular ceramics!
Quite often the highlight of our day is something completely unplanned and just a wonderful surprise. This morning we had a knock on our door at 7am, and a couple of builders asked if we could shuffle so they could park their work vans for a job opposite. We happily obliged (its illegal to wild …

145 – There be dragons!
So under some strange logic, despite struggling to wake at 6:30am and get organised, I’ve read articles that say to be most productive you should wake at 5am as you get the quietest part of the day to yourself, and with less distractions it’s easier to focus and get things done. So that’s what I …
124 – Views, caves and yet more sculpture
Compared to my first visit to Prague over a decade ago, there seems so much more to see or do…or perhaps I didn’t research it well enough the first time. There definitely wasn’t the high density of stag parties and drinks I’d been warned about. A few but no worse than Norwich. My legs were …

123 – Lost in Prague
NB – the first half is an insight to our marriage…some might think we need counselling. You can skip ahead to find out what we actually did in Prague – it was fun! Have you ever been so angry you have purposely got lost…or hoped the person you are with would get lost? Well today …
Day 105 – The Polish Riviera
Journey: Gdansk – Westerplatte – Sopot – Leba I’m yet to really love running, but I do love finding hidden gems while I’m out and today’s murals, sculpture, and the stunning Amber Alter were well worth it (I inadvertently arrived for morning service and felt obliged to stay as only 6 people there. I’ve no …
