I’ve never had the good fortune to live there, but it is my favorite city in the world. I love to visit.
My first proper visit was spent staying with a friend, Kat, for a few days. I took myself to the Audubon Zoo, where I saw white tigers for the first time. I got a keychain of white tigers and used it for about 20 years, until just a few weeks ago.

(more…)We actually ventured out this day!
First we slept in, of course. 😴 Then, we were greeted with a beautiful morning.
Then, we wandered to the nearest beach, which was Crackington Beach. We got there at low tide, and stayed all day. It’s a lovely little cove.
(more…)You go on vacation for different reasons, so you have different kinds of vacation.
Sometimes you need some excitement, something to shake things up a bit.
Sometimes you need to do some personal development, so you go to a retreat or a week-long seminar or something.
Sometimes you need a rest.
That was us this time. We mostly needed a rest.
So, our first full day in Cornwall was spent lazing about the cottage. It was a rainy day, so this worked out well for a do-nothing day.
I read, watched some tv; I don’t fully remember. We just chilled.
It went pretty in the evening, so we decided to wander down the path towards the sea and see what there was to see.
Wheee! The day has finally arrived for our trip to Cornwall! 🥳 It’s been far too long since we were there.
I went for my usual morning walk (here at home) first. The day dawned a misty, foggy, drab day.
A long, long time ago we made our first trip to Edinburgh. It was a flying visit, less than a day. We went to visit our friends from New Zealand (see previous post) once more as they toured the UK. It was our first overnight trip since Covid began!
We set off that Tuesday evening after finishing work & dinner. We got to see a lovely sunset on our way north!
We also got to see this sign (Welcome to Scotland) we haven’t seen in far too long about 9pm that night. Woohoo!
