When I was about a year into blogging I started a regular feature called a Wednesday Wander, where I’d write a post about somewhere I’d been (I’ve travelled a bit), share photos, a bit of local knowledge and my own insight into the place. I had to stop doing them, eventually – not due toContinue reading “Wednesday Wander Revisited – A Trip To Dragonstone, Part 1”

A Visit To Kings Landing #GameOfThrones
(Warning: This post contains spoilers for Season 8 of Game Of Thrones, so if you’re not all caught up, read further at your own peril. Again, spoilers spoilers spoilers) A couple of years ago, I shared two posts about visiting Dragonstone, the Targaryen island fortress from Game of Thrones. Of course, I didn’t really visitContinue reading “A Visit To Kings Landing #GameOfThrones”
Wednesday Wandering…
It’s Wednesday again. This is usually the time of the week when I go on a Wander. However, this week I’ve not had the chance to do my usual hunt for photos and research, despite (or perhaps because of) being out for a wander yesterday. My Wednesday Wander posts take a bit of work. IContinue reading “Wednesday Wandering…”
The Old Year Ends…
As the year draws to a close, I suppose it’s time to look back and consider how it was. For me, 2017 was a year of mixed blessings and a badly needed kickstart. I’d fallen into something of a rut, so being challenged and thrown out of my comfort zone, as I have been thisContinue reading “The Old Year Ends…”
A Monday Meander – Dragonstone Part 2
As promised, this is the second part of my Game of Thrones location visit, this time to the spectacular San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, on the coast of Spain. San Juan de Gatzelugatxe is actually the name of the small hermitage located on the islet, a sanctuary dedicated to Saint John and dating back to theContinue reading “A Monday Meander – Dragonstone Part 2”
Wednesday Wander – Dragonstone, Part 1
I’ve recently been away, doing a spot of wandering in Basque country. I am a big Game of Thrones fan and so, when I found out that two of the locations used for the show were not too far from where I was staying, I decided to take a look (and dragged the family alongContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Dragonstone, Part 1”
Unpacking
I’m back 🙂 Been back a few days now, not quite a week. The suitcases are up in the loft, and I’m gradually emerging from under the approximately 7923 emails and 278 loads of washing (it’s amazing how much a family can fit into three medium sized suitcases). It’s nice to be home, as itContinue reading “Unpacking”
A Mini Break…
It’s Friday, and for me, the last day of work before I head off on holiday tomorrow. The family and I are wandering south to San Sebastian and Biarritz (plenty of inspiration for some new Wednesday Wanders). I’m hoping to visit Dragonstone, or, at least, the beach that stands in for Danaerys Targaryen’s birthplace. I’mContinue reading “A Mini Break…”
