Home at last
It was so good to get back home and get down to work!
Thank you all for your very nice comments and faves on my little first Venice pic.
There will be lots more, plus some Spanish ones too.
It’s so exciting to have new reference material.
Florence
Today was great, we walked around Florence with a guide all to ourselves, which cost a lot but was worth it. We saw the Michelangelo David and also quite a lot of his other sculptures. We missed out on the Uffizzi Gallery which is apparently the best one but, quite frankly, we got to another gallery with a lot of good works anyway and our poor guide talked her self silly, but was very informati…
Venice and beyond
Here we are at last in Florence.
Were going on a city walking tour today and to a local country tour tomorrow.
Venice was amazing and great for me, sunny|
You will no doubt be pleased that I got app 400 photos of Venice, looking along canals by the dozen and lots of shots of old buildings with great reflections, sort of front views. Venice is truly a very paintable city, as far as I am c…

Everywhere we went, our friends knew p…

We are based in Eltham, which is far south London, right on the edge of the country.
We saw Eltham Palace, which is really old, like Henry VIII stayed there with Anne Bolyne and it was a…
Here we are in New York
Hi everybody.
First I must thank you for your kind comments and replies to my last journal entry.
Also to the faves.
The wedding in Las Vegas went off really well. There were 30 of us from the UK and Oz. We had a private room at the Venetian Hotel after a very nice ceremony at the Little Church of the West. I must say, the registrar looked very surprised that there were so many people ther…
Hi from Las Vegas
Hi everyone,
first I must thank you for your very kind comments and faves.
Today is our daughter’s wedding. I have grabbed a minute to check emails and am so delighted to hear from you all.
This morning we flew over and landed in the Grand canyon by helicopter, AWSOME!!
Las Vegas is mind blowing, the biggest theme park I have ever been in my life.
We have seen Cirque du soleil and Phanto…
Thank you and au revoir
