On a day nowhere near as lovely as its predecessor (drizzle – boo! grey skies – hiss!) we finally set out to explore Colmar properly. Visitor map firmly in hand, we take the path most […]
2019 Day 19 – Arriving in Alscace
Every so often a place captures your imagination and you just have to see it for yourself. Such is the case with Colmar, a place I only became aware of through Instagram after our travels […]
2019 Day 18 – Lunch in Verdun
Lunch and a revision of plans is the order of the day. A stroll into town to revisit a favourite from last year – a waterfront favourite that’s consistently busy whilst other places stand a […]
2019 Day 17 – Parfondeval

2019 Day 12 – Chartwell
Now all the National Trust places we’ve been to have been lovely, but occasionally we come across one that’s truly special. Such is the case today, when we visit Winston Churchill’s family home, Chartwell. Nestled […]
2019 Day 11 – British Museum
And thus the birthday week of Chris concludes, with….his actual birthday. Still celebrating, albeit at a much more sedate pace, we train back into London for a day of yum cha and culture: our afternoon […]
