This week’s photo is from Madrid. Not that I went but my brother did and as on most of his travels he took his walrus Valle. Here he is contemplating the view from the hotel.
Valle has been to many places and this photo reminds me of how Amelie’s dad’s garden gnome went to all those [...]

Next up: Haddon Hall. Located a short drive from Chatsworth my friend and I went there on the same day after having had that memorable afternoon tea.
Haddon Hall was a favourite of mine even before I visited it since it happens to portray Thornfield Manor in the best adaptation of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, the [...]

I just saw a very old email sticking its head up. I have to admit I check my hotmail address very seldom and tonight I did… One very kind Justus asked if I had any pictures from the Cecilia Bartoli concert in Rome in June. He had a ticked but fell ill, so he couldn’t [...]

I promised you reviews of country houses in Britain and I will give you reviews of country houses in Britain. But first let me tell you two things: 1. Never go to Stratford-upon-Avon. It is the worst tourist trap I have ever seen (and I broke the UV-filter on my camera). 2. Go to the [...]

I spent the last week of my holiday in Britain with a good friend. We had both been invited to the wedding of a common friend and we reasoned that driving around the countryside for a week would be the perfect prelude to a fairytale wedding in Cambridge. So we went for the big country [...]

This week I spent in Rome at my best friend’s home. So many good laughs and talks. We even went to a wedding and here we are looking quite happy:
We also got to hear Cecilia Bartoli in concert with Lang Lang and a whole lot of other nice things.

I arrived here yesterday and I have a whole week in front of me full of good stuff. Like ice cream and Cecilia Bartoli.

The sound of Greenland is for me the barking, screeching, howling of sledge dogs. Bored sledge dogs waiting for their luck to go sledding or be fed alternately. The only times they were quiet was when they were working or when they slept (which they did a lot…). These dogs are working dogs, not cuddly dogs. [...]

After having left Sisimiut, Greenland my Easter holiday continued in Ilulissat or Jakobshavn as the Danes call it. Ilulissat is situated in the Disco Bay as perfectly illustrated by my brother-in-law in this photo:
Just South of the city is the icefjord where the polar cap sends tons and tons of ice out into the sea [...]

Wrapped up. Letting yourself being transported. This is definitely the way to get around in the arctic.
