Picture Round up 2014
A mixture of pictures taken from a variety of cameras.
Langkawi – 99 islands in Malaysia
I’m not really sure that I can adequately describe how lovely Langkawi is.The weather is a fairly standard 30c for most of the year and while it can be a little overcast sometimes, it’s never cold. Hotels are not cheap cheap but not exceptionally expensive and we managed to stay on the beach for less…
6 weeks count down to holidays. Time to up the exercise and drop the carbs.
Well, the title really says it all. We’re off to the south of Portugal – the Algarve – in 6 weeks time and for the first time in 3 or 4 years, we’re planning a relaxing holiday. The type where you lie around on the beach and do not very much at all. Other than…
Cornwall scenery shots. Also, why golf?
We went hiking over the cliffs near Port Wrinkle on Easter Monday. The coastal path along this part of Cornwall is quite glorious, broken up only by what must be, one of the most picturesque golf courses in the world. Truly I don’t understand golf. I don’t think I ever will. I get the idea…
A day in Geneva
Geneva is, as described by my mother, very Swissy. It’s a bit prim and proper, like the archetypal maiden aunt. I did a little bit of staring at it. It was very very hazy. The city is dominated by the fountain thing. It’s basically one big jet of hair into the air. About 10 meters…
I’m not sure I can look a tapas bar in the face any more
Toooooooooooooo much tapas. This was my first Spanish meal of the weekend – and yes, we were sitting outside. It was gloriously warm and sunny. About 20c. To be fair, I think he was watching the traffic at the roundabout – someone was attempting to park on the actual roundabout but…
Argentinian steak in Seville
This was pretty bloody amazing. Amidst all the tapas in Seville, we decided that steak was the order of the evening and after mooching around at Casa Mish y Dan for a bit, we headed out at the relatively early dinner time of 10:30. The restaurant was relatively empty but filled up quickly and was…
I’m off
Well not literally but only for a few days. I’m heading over to Seville for the weekend to bring cheese, cumin seeds, Private Eye and my sparkling presence to the Coymante clan. I shall mainly be cuddling the Cat who Throws Herself from Balconies and drinking wine and talking shit with Mish & Dan. We…
Weekend in Wales
After the usual ridiculous wait in the hire car office (seriously Avis, sort it out, you have the details, you don’t need to piss about with everything, just give us the keys) we escaped for the weekend. We headed home to make a plan. We had a quick scout around on the internet and decided…
