It was finally sunny today, and we'd also found out there was only one small cruise ship in town, so we decided to walk around the city walls. We thought we'd have a walk up Valika Petka after breakfast, then head into town for lunch, hoping that the walls would be quiet by the time... Continue Reading →
Fort Lovrijenac, Dubrovnik old town and drinks in the rain
The weather was pretty rubbish again today, with gale force winds and rain so, again we put off walking around the walls of Dubrovnik. However, there were some parts of the old town we hadn’t explored yet, and we wanted to visit Fort Lovrijenac, just outside the walls. Fort Lovrijenac or St Lawrence’s Fort is set on...

Getting our bearings in Dubrovnik
As forecast, it's been blowing a gale today. We had a lie in and went down to breakfast at 9.30, only to be told we'd missed it... It finished at 10.00. The lady cleaning suggested we'd forgotten about the clocks changing. We looked at each other confused... We'd both changed our watches... And the TV... Continue Reading →
Holiday time!
We've travelled to Dubrovnik in Croatia today. After too much wine and Chinese last night, I unfortunately woke at 2.48 and couldn't get back to sleep. As if getting up at 4.15 wasn't going to be bad enough! Never mind, at least I had time for a leisurely brew and a long cuddle with Millie... Continue Reading →
A leisurely weekend: The Coral and crochet
Storm Callum has meant we haven't be able to do some of the jobs we'd planned to do. The upside of this is that we've had a relatively lazy weekend, which has been very welcome after a week with little quality sleep. That said, I've been quite productive. I've caught up with my photography coursework,... Continue Reading →
Did it!
Well, it's not a weight loss strategy I'd recommend; however, being ill all week means I've met my goal weight earlier than expected. This morning I weigh 59.8 kilograms (9 stone 6 pounds) so I've lost 0.8 kilogram (1.7 pounds) in the last week and a total of 6.4 kilograms (1 stone) over the 6... Continue Reading →
Wool and walks, a Yorkshire weekend
There is a God out there. After worrying about all that's ahead of me this week and my continually expanding 'to do' list, I have very little photography course homework this week and photography club has been cancelled. We've had 2 new single night Airbnb bookings for this Wednesday and Saturday, which nearly sent me... Continue Reading →
I’m sorry …
...If my previous post sounded as though I was complaining about my life or wanted sympathy. That wasn't my intention. I'm conscious that social media generally makes people's lives look wonderful, and someone once deleted me as a Facebook friend because my posts were always too happy.... honestly! I want my blog to be real...... Continue Reading →
Overwhelmed…
... That's how I seem to spend most of my time feeling at the moment. My 'to do' list never seems to get any shorter and, although I think I should be able to do everything I plan to do, maybe I'm expecting too much of myself. I'm just about getting through everything, but I... Continue Reading →
