This week’s travel theme is paths and here is one past journey with some of the places and pleasures it lead to: The pathway into London was awash with light while the dark Thames snaked its way through the city. On the ground, the path alongside the Thames embankment brought some interesting and exotic surprises:…
St Valentine’s Day
Ah, what is love? Who can answer that question; most people have different definitions of what love means to them and I think that is how it should be. But greeting cards have to be sold, flowers have to be harvested and chocolate has to be eaten so here is my post inspired by St…
