Story behind the photo - Cardiff

For my first Christmas in the UK, my friend and I decided we would go to Cardiff. Why? Well why not....it was somewhere neither of us had been before and were interesting in seeing. This photo is taken at Cardiff Castle, on the upper walkway/lookout. The flag at the front of the photo is the Welsh flag, you can also see the Australian and British flags as well.

Wordless Wednesday - say what?

where's the right shop then?

taken in Lisbon, Portugal.

Story behind the photo - Snow (2009)

As a girl from Australia, snow was never a part of my life growing up - it doesn't snow in the part of Australia that I'm from. You can imagine my curiosity and excitement therefore when I hit my first English winter and got my first taste of snow. This photo was taken out my window the first night it snowed, in the 2009-10 winter. I'm pretty sure I thought the snow was magical and pretty....but those feelings quickly disappeared when I actually had to walk in the stuff! Let's just say I'm no longer a fan (particularly when you throw ice into the mix).

Because I apparently need reminding...

Dear self:

Remember this post? Go on, read it again....apparently you need to because you haven't learnt yet. Read it? Right, here's hoping you can remember next time...

Regards,

Me (aka a slightly frustrated photographer)

Story behind the photo - Canterbury

I went to Canterbury with London Walks on another one of their day trips, which I've mentioned before. As far as I remember (it was nearly two years ago now that I went), it was an enjoyable day - although a bit on the cold side. This photo is of the interior of Canterbury Cathedral - yet another cathedral that I couldn't help but be impressed by.

Today I was reminded...

that I'm definitely not in Australia any more.

Let me explain. Australia is a BIG country. It takes forever to get anywhere. For example: between where I used to live and where I grew up, it was an 8-10 hour trip by road between the two - and that was within the same area of the country

Today I booked a day trip for next month. Nothing unusual about that, you might say. Did I mention that it was a day trip to Bruges (Belgium)? The idea that I can visit another country and be back in England in a day is just slightly strange to me....but I like it.

A lot
