Morning all! 👍. It’s Day 2 of our short break, staying in Holt, Norfolk. Click to catch up with yesterday’s Post 5.55am: Well, it’s still dark outside, but judging by the sound of traffic passing the Pub, it’s going to be a wet one here today! But maybe we’ll be lucky elsewhere? After breakfast, we’re …

Day 2 – Sunday, 24th – A Wander in Wengen Guten morgen Freunde und Familie! 😉 Whatever they’re slipping into the cocoa here, it’s working, as we slept really deeply last night.

Morning all! 😀. We’re on Day 9 of our Scottish adventure! – and surely some mistake – it’s NOT raining! 🤔🤔. We were seriously thinking of trading-in the ‘mozzy spray’ for anti-rust treatment, based on the past few days, but maybe not! We also saw a large round orange thing in the sky, but the …
