Postcards from Around the World

There hasn’t been an awful lot of travelling for this blog in recent years and whilst stuck at home during the dreadful wet weather I have been sorting through my photos. A very slow task! But I realised how many photos have never made it onto a blog post, so my idea for this year (2024) is to pick out some of my unused images for a journey around the world.

We’ll begin with this very apt photo of a shoe shop in Barcelona. Though I think you’d need rather longer boots to cope with our rainfall!

I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

  1. That’s a great idea for a blog series, Jude! And I love how cheery those bright wellies are – such fun for splashing about in! πŸ™‚

  2. What a fun idea. I’m looking forward to seeing your choices. Aren’t those boots cute. We were just talking about the weather here. Summer this year seems to go from a run of very hot dry days to cool damp days overnight. Today it’s foggy and cool but very humid, 23 degrees this morning. But as Glen said, it’s better than going through years of drought like we did a few years ago, when everything was dead.

    1. The weather is so unpredictable now. We have had so much rain in the last 12 months and now we are in a very cold spell, unusually cold for this part of the country.

  3. I used to own a pair of yellow wellies. Very useful they were too. Unfortunately, since I broke my foot I don’t have the flexibility to get into boots like that. I’d have pink ones this time!

    1. Yes, wellies are so hard to get on and off and I find that they hurt my ankles, but they are useful in muddy lanes.
