Another Wednesday and, with it, a wander. The skies are high and blue, the sun shining and, even though travel is limited, it feels like a day to get out and about. This Wander isn’t too far from where I live, but felt like a window into another world, another time. Hope you enjoy it…Continue reading “Wednesday Wander Revisited – Belarusian Memorial Chapel”

Wednesday Wander Revisited – Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao
Another week, and another Wander revisited. This time we’re heading to Spain, and to one of the most extraordinary buildings I’ve ever seen. I visited back in 2017, on a wonderful trip that took in two GOT filming locations, some spectacular beaches, beautiful coastal towns and a salad we enjoyed so much that we stillContinue reading “Wednesday Wander Revisited – Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao”
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 – 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”
Thursday Doors, Cottages, And A Wednesday Update
I haven’t done a Thursday Doors challenge in ages! I do have a few doors hanging around in my photo collection (which sounds an odd thing to say, I know), but just haven’t got to them each week. However, this week I’ve remembered in time and so, here are two rather lovely doors I foundContinue reading “Thursday Doors, Cottages, And A Wednesday Update”
Wednesday Wander – Belarusian Memorial Chapel
You might think this little wooden church is somewhere in Russia, or Eastern Europe, but in fact it is in London, England. It’s the first wooden church built in the city since the Great Fire of 1666, and also the first memorial in Western Europe dedicated to the Chernobyl Disaster. This is the Church ofContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Belarusian Memorial Chapel”
Wednesday Wander – Space Needle, Seattle
This week I’m wandering to the Pacific Northwest, and one of the most recognisable landmarks in that area. This is the Seattle Space Needle. Built for the 1962 World’s Fair in Seattle, the Needle was designed to withstand strong earthquakes and winds of up to 200mph, though I wouldn’t like to be up there duringContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Space Needle, Seattle”
Wednesday Wander – Singapore
It’s Wednesday, and time for another wander. This week I’ve been inspired by a book I just finished reading, Kevin Kwan’s Crazy Rich Asians. When I say I read it, I mean I picked it up to read on Sunday and didn’t put it down again until Tuesday, when I’d finished. It was a delicious,Continue reading “Wednesday Wander – Singapore”
Wednesday Wander – Hampton Court Palace
Okay, so I’ve not wandered too far this week – a train ride, rather than a plane ride, away. Still, it’s to a rather interesting place. London is home to some wonderful palaces – I have another post about the Tower of London still to write – and Hampton Court Palace is one of theContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Hampton Court Palace”
