PASTYandCREAM - Mike & Lesley Ann

:-)) Welcome to our travel blog, we are at last again off on another adventure, another PS to the previous scribbles.

We live in the ancient Celtic land of Cornwall and travelling afar to distant lands, where we can experience other cultures, ancient traditions and culinary delights has been a passion of ours for many years.

India Postponed Europe » United Kingdom » England » Cornwall

We are going to postpone our trip to India. In light of what has happened in Mumbai we have had a long discussion about recent events. We spent all day yesterday deciding whether to go ahead or not, especially because of where we were intending to travel ie the North, West & Mumbai ....and up by Pakistan border. We are so shocked, saddened and worried by what has happened to Mumbai and have been glued to the news following these horrific events and cannot believe to what depths these terrorists have gone to this time. It seems they have stepped up [View Full Entry]

Bath022

Just spent a few days in Bath, a very gorgeous city that you can never tire of wandering around - even though it was freezing cold and rained most of the time! Thought I would share the few images I took for those who like it also and who might yet go.... [View Full Entry]

Reef in! Europe » Spain » Catalonia » Tarragona

'Ipsos'

A month ago we got back from an amazing sailing experience on the Costa Dourada, SE Spain. Very good friends of Mandy and Doug, have now been living aboard first 'Magpie' and now 'Ipsos' full time - retired from the Navy and both loving every moment of their alternative lifestyle, based on the Costa Dourada. We were cordially invited to live aboard with them to find out for ourselves if we would take to living on the briney. It was our first chance to experience sailing and living on a yacht for real, it has always been a dream of mine [View Full Entry]

New Mexico - Land of Enchantment North America » United States » New Mexico » Taos

New Mexico

We were kind of happy and well rested and relaxed once we disembarked at LA, we had the very delightful surprise of being upgraded to First Class from Tahiti, the front row too - so the 10 hour flight flew by! Don’t ask how or why - it’s a long story! No matter how many road movies and Westerns we have seen, nothing could have prepared us for this amazing corner of South West USA, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado - huge open vistas of vermillion red buttes, mesas and canyons and never ending desert arid flatlands. We wanted to [View Full Entry]

Even the Sea Dogs have happy faces! Oceania » Cook Islands » Rarotonga

Salty Sea Dog

Welcome to one of the happy isles of Oceania, "Kia Orana" (hello & long happy life)... This is the third time we have been priviliged to visit Rarotonga set in the Southern Cooks, South Pacific. It's a long ways from anywhere thats for sure, 10.5hrs to LA another 10 to UK, but thats what makes it so special and relatively quiet and untouristy and unglam and thats why we like it so. Not kidding about the sea dogs either, the local mutts are all similar in that they are so friendly and they have this incredible addiction to swimming and catching [View Full Entry]

This is the last blog from Oz after spending nearly 5 months in this lovely country.

TASMANIA Oceania » Australia » Tasmania » West Coast

Mt William Nat Park

I am writing the Tassie part from the very comfortable Queensland home of our dear friends Ron & Jenny, we have been here nearly three weeks staying with them which has enabled me to get Tassie pics up at long last :-) Tassie was lots of things! The scenery reminded us very much of many places: home (inc. the weather :-( which was a bit of a shock to the sys.!), New Zealand and bits of South Australia, most varied scenery, as you can see from the pics. Food was very good, especially the dairy they produce, we tasted the best [View Full Entry]

After 4 years finally get to meet namesake Michael Treloar, only to find out he was in Helston on his first visit to Cornwall last July - not a hundred yards from where we live.

Fowlers Bay

Well this will make you all feel a better back in chilly UK.......we have for the past 2 days been holed up in a small village Warartah stuck up on a plateau and its been absolutely chucking it down all day and night, blowing a gale and a cool 10oC, overnight temps been as low as 3.5oC! But the bonus is they have a large pond/lake where they have resident duckbill platypuses so have been out watching them at dusk with the torch. The truck has held up pretty well, no leaks so far. Tasmania is a chilly place and quite [View Full Entry]
