It’s a short Wednesday Wander this week. The sickness bug has returned and taken over the entire household, all of us wandering around miserably, wishing it would go away. We live inland now, quite far from the ocean, and I do notice the difference in that things seem to linger, no fresh breezes or saltContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – California Dreaming”

Wednesday Wander – Natural History Museum, London
It’s Wednesday and time to wander again. This week, I’m not travelling too far from home. I’m lucky enough to live very close to London and all that it holds, including some wonderful (and very famous) museums. This week, I’m wandering to the Natural History Museum, arguably one of the best known. Situated in theContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Natural History Museum, London”
Wednesday Wander – Le Musee De La Mar, Biarritz
It’s Wednesday, and time to wander again. I recently visited the French coastal town of Biarritz, and this week I’m going to wander to Le Musee De La Mer – the Biarritz Aquarium. Opened to the public in 1933, the building is a stylish example of Art Deco architecture, much like the nearby Casino. However,Continue reading “Wednesday Wander – Le Musee De La Mar, Biarritz”
Wednesday Wander – San Sebastian Old Town
It’s Wednesday again, and this week I’m wandering back to Donostia San Sebastian, the beautiful Spanish coastal town I visited this past summer. Last time I wandered here, I visited the beaches, golden curves of sand deserving of their own blog post. This time, I’m venturing into the Old Town. While there is evidence toContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – San Sebastian Old Town”
Wednesday Wander – Highgate Cemetery, London
It’s Wednesday, and it’s time to wander once more. This week I’m heading to a rather unusual attraction in London, a place one could describe as the ‘dead centre’ of town. This is Highgate Cemetery. Up until the 1830’s, burial in London was a somewhat haphazard affair, with burial grounds crammed into small spaces, highlyContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Highgate Cemetery, London”
Wednesday Wander – Watchet, Somerset
This little harbour town in Somerset is has neither the fame of San Francisco nor the glamour of Biarritz, yet it is where I’m wandering this week. Watchet is a charming place with an ancient history, situated at the mouth of the River Severn. An Iron age hill-fort nearby, later re-fortified by Alfred the Great,Continue reading “Wednesday Wander – Watchet, Somerset”
Wednesday Wander – San Sebastian Beaches
It’s Wednesday and time for my weekly wander. This week we’re heading to Donostia San Sebastian, in the Basque country region of Spain. Donostia is the Basque name for the city, and is another way of saying San Sebastian – in honour of the dual heritage of the city, both names are used. I visitedContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – San Sebastian Beaches”
Wednesday Wander – Warwick Castle
This week, I’m wandering to a view that I’ve seen many times. It’s of an ancient castle, almost a thousand years old in parts – a place steeped in legend, where kings were made and battles fought, mysteries still hiding in its thick stone walls. This is Warwick Castle. The original castle at Warwick wasContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Warwick Castle”
Maiden, Mother, Crone – Part 2 – Easter Aquhorthies
I realise that Wednesday is usually my day to wander. However, I’m also writing up my weekend with The Silent Eye. So, I’m combining the two and taking a wander to Easter Aquhorthies Stone Circle, near Inverurie, Scotland, for the second part of my experience.‘I must be insane,’ I thought to myself. I was standingContinue reading “Maiden, Mother, Crone – Part 2 – Easter Aquhorthies”
Wednesday Wander – Guggenheim Museum Bilbao
Hello, everyone. I’ve been on a few wanders of late, most recently a trip up to Scotland for a Silent Eye weekend, a trip I’m still processing before writing it up on here. So this week I’ve decided to wander to a place I visited a few weeks earlier – the spectacular Guggenheim Museum inContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Guggenheim Museum Bilbao”
