Today is Roald Dahl day, a celebration to mark what would have been the 101st birthday of the author, so I decided to do a Wednesday Wander with a Roald Dahl connection. I’ve visited Dahl’s grave, seen the footsteps of the BFG leading to it, and spent time in the excellent museum nearby (though tookContinue reading “A Wednesday Wander for Roald Dahl Day”

The Bloggers Bash – 2017!
This time last week my bag was packed, my outfit chosen, and I was looking forward to attending another Bloggers Bash. I’d decided to stay over this year, as in previous years it all seemed to end too quickly, conversations cut short as the day flashed by. And I’m so glad I did. The dayContinue reading “The Bloggers Bash – 2017!”
Mad March
I was a bit absent from blogland last month. I seem to be saying that a lot this year, mainly because my work situation has changed, but I was still finding time to check in every once in a while – at least until March came along. But what a month it was! I can’tContinue reading “Mad March”

It’s my birthday in a few weeks’ time, and I’m very excited about it. Not so much for the event itself – I mean, I still quite like birthdays, but they do seem to be adding up in recent years. The reason I’m so excited is that one of my best friends from Australia isContinue reading “Wednesday Wander, Sacre Coeur, Paris”

Wednesday Wander – Headland House, Cornwall
Yesterday would have been the 100th birthday of author Roald Dahl so, in celebration, my Wednesday Wander this week has a Roald Dahl connection. This is Headland Hotel in Newquay, Cornwall, and it was the location where Roald Dahl’s The Witches was filmed, starring Angelica Houston as the Head Witch. With magnificent sea views overlookingContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Headland House, Cornwall”
Wednesday Wander – Portmeirion, Wales
I’ve chosen to wander to the village of Portmeirion, North Wales, this week. There are a couple of reasons for doing so; one, it’s a pretty interesting place and, two, it’s fifty years ago this week since filming started on cult television series The Prisoner, which used the village as its backdrop. The Prisoner starredContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Portmeirion, Wales”
