News and travel

Firstly here

 a new coffee shop I found yesterday on my travels on the bike.

 

 

It used to be a rundown house , derelict and look what glorious plants are painted on the wall.

The window is painted on too.

♥**♥**♥

I am ready for my next adventure, all packed, got my passport, got money and ready to fly off.

I am so excited to see a new country.

 

Can you guess where I am going?

 

  

 

 

A walk in Cambridge

We took a trip to Cambridge the University town for a day!

This one is the famous Kings College.

 

We went to the Botanical Garden, enjoy the walk with me!

I left the pictures in the original size as I love how they came out, very focused

– done with my phone!

 

Super flowers, amazing plants- nature all around the world.

… and a relaxing palm tree for me!

The Shard

I had the opportunity to go to the Shard, the highest viewing platform at the top of Western Europe’s tallest building.

We went up with a speedy elevator to level 33 , changed elevators to level 69.

There is the first viewing platform.  Then you can go 3 flights up to level 72 which is the highest level for visitors.

The sight is breathtaking and you see all London Landmarks and more.

Definitely not for people who don’t like heights.

Well worth a visit if you are in London.

It was not sunny but we still could see enough.

 As Groucho Marx says:

I love my London in all weather!

 

Foot note….

I just noticed as I published it, it is my 400th post!

Can’t believe I did that many…..I’m rather proud! ♥

 

 

Nature at its’ best

I was invited to a birthday party on a small river cruise at a close by river in my neighbourhood.

We had a super time and the quiet river was just amazing.

 

 

Totally idyllic!

It is a beautiful world out there go and enjoy it!

 

Nature

relieves stress,

calms nerves,

and takes your breath away !

Guestpost: Danny in Germany

As promised I am showing you more of my hot adventure in Germany.

I met Petzi, my old friend who always welcomes me warmly into the house.

Petzi and I

On the hottest day we walked around the old town of Reutlingen.

It has still remnants of the town wall in some places….. shame about the blue bins in front….

Guess what I saw?

Reutlingen has the narrowest street in the world and this is in the Guiness Book.

We have not eaten too much and could easily get through. ( 31cm or 1 foot wide)

That was fun.  I could pose on the beam of the old house.

I saw a lovely tiny house from 1758, my mum remembers it as a shop for brooms.

They have beautiful wells in the pedestrian zone and on the market place.

The church, ‘Marien Kirche’ is a lovely building too!

Then I met Brauni, my gran’s teddy and we caught up with the teddy news from all over the world.

I loved the garden in front of the house and played a lot in the greenery.

 

Too soon it was time to go home again, luckily we had the hot sunshine the whole time.

Just when we were in Stuttgart ready to fly back a big thunderstorm came and made us late for take off.

It was rather amazing to see the flashes and black sky and then soon we went up and saw the fluffy clouds which brought us into the cooler Britain.

I had a super time and enjoyed a peaceful time with my mum and gran!

Flying into sunshine

I love flying as I can be free and not strapped into a seat like all the other passengers.

I will soon have another adventure which I will report on later.  It will be so amazing I can’t believe it myself just yet.

So until then it is bye from me and wishing you a wonderful day with joy and happiness.

37 degrees

at the market place fountain

Need to go and enjoy the sunshine!

Wishing you all a lovely day , stay safe and enjoy what you have!

 

Choose to be happy!

Being happy is a choice.

You can choose to be miserable or you can choose to be happy.

Sometimes, as humans we think “we got awful cards dealt our way” or “someone is out to get me”

Sadly guilty of this myself :

This is your journey.

Travel with grace and gratitude or travel with misery, the choice is yours.

The efforts are the same.

Life is trying and sometimes difficult.

Remember today, right in this very NOW moment, you can choose to wash away the sorrows of yesterday the hurts of past…….acknowledge them and release them from your heart (not easy I know) but try…..

Then send out positive energy to the universe, your guides, your angels…..

Watch quietly and see the magic begin.

Changes may be tiny you can barely see them or you may doubt them….but they are there.

A smile from a stranger, a hug from your child, a card from a friend a warm cup of coffee or maybe you were blessed with the last cookie someone saved you! 🙂 

All good things starting to unravel with your positive state of mind…..♥

Enjoy life- its good and bad.

Learn from the challenges….and live in this very NOW moment of peace and happiness….Namaste ♥
