Where to go...

It's strange...if you'd asked me a few months ago where I'd like to travel I'd have murmured a few things about various places in Europe. However, because my wanderings are primarily about catching up with people I love, it's turned into a far more of an odyssey (or Royal Progress).

The plan such as it is:

Christmas 2023 - visiting friends in France

Jan - end of March 2023 - temp work and trips to see friends in the UK

End of March 2024 - head over to North America, and try and visit:

New York (with a trip out to Long Island)

Chicago (with side trip to Milawaukee) 

St. Louis

New Orleans

Denver/Boulder

Edmondton (CA - which may mean a stop in Seattle)

Vancouver (maybe)

San Francisco

End of May 2024 - travel on to New Zealand (possibly via Sydney)

Late May/Early June 2024 - travel on to Australia and visit:

Sydney

Melbourne

Hobart

Perth

Late July/Early August 2024 - start to wend my way home via:

Kuala Lumpur

Bangkok

Japan

Mid-September 2024 - walk the Camino

Corbigny past and present

  Itˋs still too damn hot, but I managed a trip out to Corbigny, where there is a lovely toy shop… …interesting mediaeval bits and pieces… …fun shop signs… …a great place to drink coffee and watch the world go by… …suitably mad French cars… …and baffling street furniture… …and a chilling reminder that not that long ago, people like you and me were taken away and annihilated. Remember them, never forget, never again.

Église st Jean Baptiste - Moulins-Engilbert

For a small, sleepy place…Moulins-Engilbert…  …has a very large church. It is… …rather… …lovely… …with lots to see… …beautiful… …carving… …and lovely old wooden pews. And as well… …as these lovely faces… …there are… …some glorious statues in the crypt. However, what most spoke to me was the war memorial… …including my hostˋs grandfather.

Vézelay - one of my favourite places on earth

What is there to say…  …about Vézelay, which hasn’t already been said by better wordsmiths than me? We set off early because of the heat… …and to my great delight…had… …the basilica…more or less… …to ourselves… …in calm… …tranquil… ….peace. Do try… …and visit… …if you can. Part of my soul… …is always there.
