Continuing with the aquarium theme from yesterday’s Wander, today’s door belongs to the San Sebastian Aquarium. Located at the very end of the old harbour, the Aquarium was built in 1928, when much of the area was redeveloped. And it has a rather spectacular door, don’t you think? As well as being a rather wonderfulContinue reading “Thursday Doors – San Sebastian Aquarium, Spain”

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 – 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”
Wednesday Wander – Parc Guell, Barcelona
It’s Wednesday, and time to wander again. This week I’m heading to Barcelona, Spain, and to Antoni Gaudi’s magnificent Parc Guell. High on a hilltop overlooking the city, the park is accessed via a series of escalators and steps up a narrow and very steep street. There may have been some complaining from certain familyContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Parc Guell, Barcelona”
Wednesday Wander – Sanur, Bali
The winter weather has been pretty cold and dismal of late, so I thought I’d wander to an island paradise, at least in spirit. This is Sanur, on the Indonesian island of Bali. Sanur is located on the opposite side of the island from busy Kuta and, as I remember it, is a much moreContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Sanur, Bali”
Wednesday Wander, Sacre Coeur, Paris
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”
30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Sixteen – Small Things
Today is day sixteen of the 30 Day Writing Challenge, and the prompt is: Small Things. It’s been a funny old week with lots going on, and I’ve just realised that I forgot to take a Wednesday Wander! I’m think perhaps this blogging challenge has thrown me off course a little – I tend notContinue reading “30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Sixteen – Small Things”
