Trip Over to Zagreb – Croatia
City of St George and the Dragon
Zagreb is a beautiful city, the history has been well preserved, the people are fantastic to spend time with and it is very easy to get around. Walking for miles through the expertly tended parks and gardens just to see what lies beyond is a treat
Trip Over to Zagreb
90 Minutes in Zagreb
I woke up on our last day in Zagreb, and looked out the window, of course – beautiful blue skies, it was a cool crisp morning. After breakfast I set off, at speed, to re-take all the photos I had taken the previous few days. Read more……………..
The Endeavour at the National Maritime Museum of Australia. It`s a replica, but a very good one. You can go onboard and take a look around - all those ropes, how did they cope?

The Christmas Lights are shining all over London, here yesterday evening in the Princes Arcade, outside the Ritz, and even on a bus!
It`s been a very rainy morning in London so I have busied myself creating a Postcards page on my website, where I will send short postcards everyday, click on the link in the bio to have a look.

The water receeds around the edges of Tunks Park under Long Gully Bridge, but there seems to be another downpour forecast next week, so itbis likely to go under again. But look how green the grass is!!!

That`s how you design a gate!!!
These gates at Regents Park in London, were made in 1935, during the reign of George V.

Merry Christmas!! I hope everyone has had a great day!!🎄🎉🥂
I was surprised to find out this is a private home, known as Holme, in London`s Regent`s Park. And, it has just gone on the market for a cool £250 million, its got 40 bedrooms, so perfect for the average family!!

Between down pours, Tunks Psrk continued to fill with water. Lucky someone thought to put the "Ground Closed" sign in the middle of the cricket ground 🤣 I think anyone who turned up to play would have realised after wading through knee deep water on to the sodden grass that it wouldn`t work out!😂
