The boots dilemma has concluded
…in a very inconclusive way! Having tried on dozens of walking shoes/boots in tens of different shops, ordered six pairs from Amazon and several more from other online outlets, I have now officially given up and admitted defeat. I’ve ruined … Continue reading

A day on the ocean waves…
…except it’s a sea, not an ocean and there are absolutely no waves, it’s as calm as a mill pond. Much as I have enjoyed my evenings amongst the ancient buildings and narrow alleyways of Dubrovnik, I am not enjoying … Continue reading
