Not much of a title, is it? Couldn’t think up a better one so I’m going with the does-what-it-says-on-the-tin variety. A blog post, from me to you, about three German hats. Well, one turned out to be Austrian. I’ll get to that. I have lived in Germany twice, with a brief stint in North Yorkshire… Continue reading Three German Hats
So, there you go. That was June. We’ve said Hello and Goodbye. I’d usually like to get a round up post out on the last day of the month, but real life got in the way. Better late than never?

There’s something about a windmill, isn’t there? Something intriguing. Also, lighthouses and watermills. They were built to be work horses so I’ve no idea why I romanticize them. Is it just me? Anyway, romanticized or not, it was a real life working windmill that marked the starting point for what turned out to be a… Continue reading Wilton Windmill & Village

Another month comes to an end. That makes it just about half way through the year. Time is flying, even if we are all having a bit less fun than we might like.

Let’s begin with a story. Once upon a time , a long time ago, there was founded a priory. Said priory was the proud holder of the forefinger of John the Baptist – who knows where the rest of him ended up- and a destination for pilgrims.

When I found out my family would be relocating to Wiltshire, I wasn’t sure what to make of it.
