Piggy provocateur

My lovely friend Christopher collected pigs of all kinds. When his husband asked if I’d like one to remember him by I choose this little chap.

I used to annoy Christopher, by arranging his other pigs as if they were listening to him. I said that he was a political agitator, inciting them to sedition. Christopher would get quite cross, and tell me that he was reading them a bedtime story.

Given there’s a little picture of a desert island, I think he must be reading ‘The Owl and the Pussycat’, and Christopher knew his pigs best of course.

Love you so much Christopher 🐖❤️🐖

Return to Ronda

The last few months have been a bit rough on the health front, so it’s been a delight to be on my travels again. First stop was glorious Ronda, staying in a hotel with it’s own cinema. A fantastic pizza was had… ….Christmas lights were admired… …a sunset revelled in… …but Ronda is all about the gorge (and bullfighting, Hemlingway and Orson Welles)… …and the amazing bridges. And a very poetic carpark.

Austria at last

In a fit of madness… …I agreed to accompany my Aged Mother on a coach trip to Austria. After two days on the coach… …we have finally arrived <phew>.

Out on the River

Today we headed out… …on the water… …for a little boat trip. We saw lots… …of interesting houses… …including this pink palace… …many, many beautiful… …temples… …and the largest Buddha in Bangkok… …which is still under construction. We stopped for a rest… …and a wander at The Artist’s House… …where we fed the fish, but not the pigeons… …and treated ourselves to some coconut milk. It was lovely to see a different side to the city… …and I am left wondering what was happening with this bear. A big thank you is due to Yu Leng’s friend Kevin, who suggested this trip.
