So this is Denmark. We’ve come in through the south which is pretty much farmland. Potato crops are the key planting and they’re full flower – acres of white and sometimes pink blossom. One artistic […]
Day Nineteen
Our journey northward continues. Chris hopes to be in Denmark by day’s end. But first, there are cherries to be sourced. They’re in the height of season and available every few metres in the local […]
Day Eighteen
If we’re in Germany, the first thing that ought to be sought out is good bread. Germans are famous for it, the range is enormous with every grain imaginable. The breads are dense and […]
Day Seventeen

Day Fifteen
We roll into Amsterdam by early afternoon. The weather is grey again – I guess that’s what you get for complaining about last year’s incessant heat. Still, given the choice, I’d take cool over heat, […]
Day Fourteen
It’s up, oh so bright and early, to get to the ferry terminal this morning. Not a fan of an early morning start, I must say. Smacks too much of a working day. Compared to […]

Day Twelve
My cheeky squirrel buddy is back this morning. Still can’t coax him any closer though. We are headed to Hampton Court today, something we’ve been meaning to do each time we are in London, but […]
Day Eleven
The day starts with a long walk in the Gorrick Woods, ostensibly a forestry plantation with the old woods intertwined. The older trees are mostly oak and silver birch, the forestry plantings, pine. People often […]
