Well, I guess I better learn Dutch
I’m taking a break from the York posts to say… I am a little confused at how close we are to the Holland decision. Mr. DJ says “yes we are going” based on an email he received yesterday. But somehow that email seems a little too easy. Anti-climatic, even. When we moved to [...]
York, England: National Railway Museum (not just for train enthusiasts!)
After spending four hours at the Castle Museum in York, we decided to hike over to the National Railway Museum. It is a bit of a walk, so if you are short on time, you might consider taking a taxi. Also, you might want to save your touring feet for all the walking you’ll do [...]
York, England: Castle Museum
York is filled with at least two full days worth of goodness–and that’s picking and choosing from many worthy venues. Using the Rick Steves and Michelin guidebooks, we settled on our top three sites: the Castle Museum, the National Railway Museum, and the York Minster. We also enjoyed an evening stroll around the city’s beautiful [...]
York, England: Getting there
Since we weren’t sure about the NL move this summer (meaning we might be leaving the UK soon), we decided we would take some of Roxi’s two-week Spring Break and see some things in England. After thumbing through a few guidebooks, and checking what was available accommodations-wise, we decided to head up to York in [...]
We’re back and welcome to the new blog!
Early last week, we took an evening walk around the beautiful medieval walled town of York. The daffodils were in full bloom. When we got back home last Wednesday, all of our dafs down here in the south of England were past their prime. Well, hello, you’ve found our new blog! I hope you don’t [...]
Marmite Part II: One year later
Well, after stumbling across a stray jar of Marmite in my pantry yesterday, I decided that it was a sign that I needed to try it again. It seems the secret to eating Marmite is butter. Emm said to add “as much (butter or margarine) as possible”. The other part of the Marmite equation is [...]
A Flâneur in Barcelona: A fanciful post featuring the letter “F”
We flew to Spain. The airport is right on the coast, so our first views of Barcelona included the Mediterranean and sun. It put us in the right frame of mind for our family holiday. (Photo by Roxi on her Casio Exilm 8.1 MP) We were a bit early to check into our flat, so [...]
We’re back!
Photomerge of Barcelona, Spain. You can click on the photo to enlarge. Four days in sunny Barcelona… fabulous! I haven’t forgotten that I am to do an alphabet post. Bee did M. Willow did E. Elizabeth did A and kindly suggested the letter “F” for me. Tomorrow might find me in a fitter frame of mind for a fun [...]
Krakow, Poland: A little bit of old and new
Finally, here are some more photos from our trip to Krakow, Poland last October. My terrible computer woes are all better now. Yay! If you are interested, my other Poland posts include: We’re back from Poland But Why Poland? Poland: Wieleczka Salt Mines And other posts containing photos of Krakow: Monday Ramblings Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh! Morning Cup [...]
Inspection of our rental and more Hurricane Ike musings
As I run the sweeper in my house today in anticipation of our leasing company coming over for an “inspection” of the property, I can’t help thinking about how much junk/papers we have accumulated over the last year and a half. I think about this especially today after seeing photos of my in-laws’ home in [...]
