I can’t believe it’s been a week since my last post! It’s been a busy time though, with a family wedding, and I’ve just not had much opportunity to sit down in front of the computer. However, there’s no way I’d miss taking a Wednesday Wander, so this week we are heading to Ireland. PortumnaContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Portumna Castle, Ireland”

Wednesday Wander – Heidelberg Castle, Germany
It took me a while to figure out where to wander to this week. Usually a location will present itself to me, or I’ll scroll through my photos and find somewhere, but it all seemed a bit vague this week. Then I remembered a conversation I had with a fellow blogger where I mentioned Heidelberg,Continue reading “Wednesday Wander – Heidelberg Castle, Germany”
Wednesday Wander – Leaning Tower Of Pisa, Italy
For this week’s Wander I’m visiting one of the most recognisable structures in the world – Italy’s famous leaning Tower Of Pisa. When I took the photos out of the album I noticed I’d written ‘everything leans!’ next to the images, and I do remember that being true. The Cathedral and Baptistry were also slightlyContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Leaning Tower Of Pisa, Italy”
Wednesday Wander – The Brighton Pavilion
You may think that this week I’ve chosen to wander somewhere exotic, a Moroccan souk or Indian palace. Actually, I’m only an hour or so from where I live, in the lovely but much-less-exotic Brighton, on the south coast of England. This is the Brighton Pavilion. The Pavilion actually started life as a much moreContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – The Brighton Pavilion”
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”
Wednesday Wander, Rock Of Cashel, Ireland
It’s the first Wednesday of the New Year, and time for my first Wednesday Wander. This week I’m heading to the green centre of Ireland, and an ancient fortress once home to kings. This is the Rock Of Cashel in Co. Tipperary, Ireland. Cashel was, for centuries, the seat of the Kings of Ulster, andContinue reading “Wednesday Wander, Rock Of Cashel, Ireland”
Wednesday Wander – If You Could Be Anywhere…
It’s Wednesday, so time for my usual Wander, and it’s also day twenty-eight of the 30 Day Writing Challenge. Today’s prompt is: If. Initially, I considered the Rudyard Kipling poem If, and doing a Wander related to that. But Kipling was so well-travelled I couldn’t really settle on one place, and unfortunately I’ve not yetContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – If You Could Be Anywhere…”
30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Twenty One – Everybody (also, A Wednesday Wander)
It’s day twenty one of the 30 Day Writing Challenge, and today’s prompt is: Everybody. It’s also Wednesday, which means I’ll be taking a wander. However, in line with the prompt, this wander will be slightly different in that I’ll be trying to answer a question that just about everybody asks me, once they hearContinue reading “30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Twenty One – Everybody (also, A Wednesday Wander)”
Wednesday Wander – Coventry Cathedral
Yes, I am still doing the 30 Day Blog Challenge, but it’s Wednesday, and I always go for a Wander on Wednesday. Today’s prompt was: Very Loud. I thought about places I’d been that were loud – rock festivals, waterfalls, train stations, airports. Then the phrase ‘louder than bombs’ came into my head, and IContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Coventry Cathedral”
