Here’s an oldie from about 13 years ago before we lived in New Zealand. I’m pretty sure we ‘caught’ some prawns for dinner. 🦐

What a great day exploring Brännö Island in the Southern Archipelago of Gothenburg. A lot of sun, good food and laughs.

Ooooh, I love tractors. 🚜

Well, not really, but when the donkey poo must be spread around the pasture I’m up for the job. 😉

Pet and house sitting is tough.

After this I need to groom the dogs, do some gardening (if I feel like it), and then decide what sparkling wine to chill for later.

Just over two years ago this was taken on our last excursion in Morocco before lockdown.

This was such a great day: kayaking down the Mekong River, eating red ant eggs, and sampling homemade hooch along the way.

Getting ready to slide and zip down a recently placed line into a small pool of water.

This was my one and, so far, only time canyoning with the great people of @abel_tasman_canyons back in 2013.

I loved every second of it except for the jump off a cli… https://t.co/IlCzhcxtK7

Ufff, two years ago today I woke up in Venice to the cancellation of Carnevale and the city shutting down.

Two days later I was in Rome not knowing what was ahead of me (us).

On this trip to Paris I was freezing, tired and apparently searching for Brigette Bardot along the Seine.

A few months before this photo we were in Marseille, and met these sisters (2nd photo) celebrating the memory of their mother.

The children in this village were enchanted with Minnie Mouse talking on my watch.

Each of them had a turn pressing on my watch to get her to say the time or a greeting aloud.

We could have been there for hours.

One year ago Stella joined our family just after our move to Valencia.

Sixteen years ago we stood on this beach crying and laughing and holding hands while the celebrant/photographer performed our (secret) wedding ceremony at sunset.
