Another winter week


Where does the week go? An enjoyable and interesting week, considering the time of year. Managed a long walk on the beach, a full yoga lesson and a day at a spa catching up with a good friend. The time in the outdoor hot tub complete with a full frost was memorable.

Also booked at short trip to yet another island. A week in Tenerife for later in February.

Before we know if spring will be with us - it seems like a very long winter..............

Island dreaming..........


What is it about islands? They seem to get into your blood. I am sure there are many people who cannot see the attraction, but for me, that small piece of land surrounded by sea, calls out to be explored.


I live on one most of the time - Isle of Wight, and when I want to get away its usually to one island or another, that I first think of going. Maybe Mallorca where there is so many contrasts to explore. Cyprus, an island of two halves. Malta where I spent part of my childhood and still holds many happy memories or one of my favorites, Anna Maria Island off the gulf coast of Florida.
