home thoughts from abroad

1. That’s an eye catcher 🙂 🙂 And redolent with the mysteries of the Orient. Or even Greece 🙂

2. I looked up the shop online. ‘Tehnima, home-made jewellery’.
   Lovely colours indeed, and the Greek writing on the sign shows the country, even if you hadn’t told us.
   Best wishes, Pete. x

   1. You’re good Pete, I couldn’t find it at all!

      1. I typed in the Greek text, and it popped straight up! 🙂

3. That bottle of liquid amber looks huge, and it’s in such a pretty setting!

   1. It is a pretty setting, quite a popular resort I believe.

4. You have been to so many places Jude, what a lovely way to revive your memories

   1. It is indeed PP.

5. Love this! And you say I have travelled, Jude….I think you win!

   1. You have definitely seen more of Europe than I have.

      1. Oh, OK! 😀

6. Very true, sometimes a day trip on a tour is the only way to go. We don’t like driving on the wrong side of the road either.

   1. I didn’t mind in Canada and USA, but then the signs are in English so it is easier. I’d be worried about parking in the wrong place or committing some other driving offence in Europe.

      1. We’ve found it’s just easier to travel by train and do our own thing, with a few day trips booked before we go. That’s what we’re going to do in Canada.

         1. Ah, so you are going to Canada, to visit your daughter I assume. Where and when? Canada is easy to drive in though.

         2. Yes, in July. Victoria, Vancouver, Toronto, Quebec City and Montreal. We’re not driving – flying and trains.

         3. Oh, I ❤ Victoria and Vancouver. I'd live on Vancouver Island if I could. And with those distances involved you wouldn't want to drive. You must check out the Royal BC Museum in Victoria and the Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver. I am sooo jealous.

         4. They are both on our list.

         5. Taking ideas from Cathy? 😀

         6. Our list is nowhere near as extensive as Cathy’s. She is a super planner.

         7. 😀
            Good to have a few things in mind. The Van Dusen Garden in Vancouver is gorgeous too if you have time. Or simply walk around Stanley Park. I have loads of posts about Canada on my travel blog (look under road trips). Cabbage Town is interesting in Toronto and the islands. Sometimes it is good just to see what happens 🙂

         8. Oooh, I will go and read your posts.

         9. I see you did! Hope they proved useful.

         10. They did. We are planning to spend a day at Buchart Gardens. Oh, how exciting.

7. Hi I’m back Jude, Jo has just invited me to be part of the 3 day quote challenge. I would like to invite you to take part. No pressure though only if you have time. https://retiredfromgypsylife.wordpress.com/2018/05/04/the-3-day-quote-challenge-1/

   1. Thanks for the thought Pauline. I shall decline on this occasion if you don’t mind. Sore shoulder so trying to keep off the laptop and I am hoping for some sun so I can visit a garden or two this weekend. Today is dull though…

      1. Sorry to hear about the shoulder. Jack had that problem and finally went for a cortisone injection about 6 months ago and,so far touch wood, seems to be ok. Hope your weather improves

         1. Jo’s husband has a frozen shoulder and has had the cortisone injection.

         2. Hoped it worked for him. Not good to have in his job

8. It’s a gorgeous photo, but what is liquid amber, there’s a tree call liquidamber?

   1. Just a description Gilly, some kind of liquid and an amber colour. I have no idea what is in the bottles. Could be oil or water.

9. If we didn’t see the Greek writing, I think it would still be quite clear from the photo which part of the world we were in. 🙂 Amber coloured liquid? Hmmmm – so many possibilities. 🙂
