Some pics






pictures first:- the ladies at work bought me Grumpy originally it had my name stuck on its head.Little summer house and fish pond in the garden.Some of the albums in my loft but they are all over the house and a man on a donkey in Santorini,Greece.
just been raining,would call it a summer shower but its not summer,its been so hot this week in some parts of the country there is a hose pipe ban because we are having a drought.
Back in the 70,s we went to Tunisia for the first time to a place called Hammamet.Back then there where few hotels and nomads had tents and camels on the beach.We met two French couples and became friends and with French being the language of Tunisia they help us when touring and bartering for goods.
We went to stay with one couple the year after at there farm house in Avon in France,it was magic and just how you would imagine it to be,all the colours in the house where pastel shades and we drank coffee out off a bowl and slept on the floor.They had a huge fireplace that you could walk inside and look up the chimney and at the side of the fireplace was a door that led through to there bedroom with the bed head pushed up against the back of the fire.We visited Lille where they have a muscle festival in September and outdoor flea markets.Muscles you eat that is,there where mountains of empty shells in large wire mesh baskets all over the town.that was a good week.The year after the other couple came to stay with us.In Tunisia we traveled to the Sahara desert and rode camels at sunset.Been to Tunisia 4 times and Turkey 4 times several Greek islands and mainland Greece to the Acropolis and Agamemnon tome ect..Pyramids of Egypt and Cairo museum and the valley of the kings.South of France and Paris,Germany,Italy,Yugoslavia,China,United States,Santiago in Chile,Belgium,India,Austria,Monte Carlo and there must be some places I can not remember at the moment
