Portugal A fantastic blog Roger. Again, repeatedly I say you have the gift of expressing in detail and bringing the reader right into the place you are describing and enjoying it with you. Well done. I enjoyed reading
Policemen Your incident with the police reminds me of one a very long time ago in London, when my husband took a roundabout the wrong way. A policeman stopped us and referred to me as "your girl-friend". Bernard wanted to seem respectable and said: She is not my girl-friend but my wife. After a long discussion, the policeman said: Go, and make friends with your wife! (Wonderful English sense of humour)
Pictures of Portugal WOW! what fascinating architecture!
thanks for photos as they give so much about the country.
Je I love the cap looks great on. continue to enjoy.
Magnificent Spain Third attempt. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Spain with you guys. Thanks for a magnificent holiday. As usual Roger your blogs bring everything to life and if I had not been there personally, your description was so good that I would have well imagined it. Have a wonderful time in Portugal and Iook forward to reading about that too.
You are so blessed. Enjoy for the rest of us who can't
And thanks for staying in touch.
Hello to Heather who I don't think remembers sitting next to me in class.
Well done Roger The City of Calgary should employ you in their tourist industry, you write so well. I'm glad we were there a year ago wth you, or otherwise I would feel like I was missing out on a great place.
Pork Pies Loved this blog Roger, I also love pork pies, which could account for my waistline! I have never had a decent pork pie since I left England, but we are going this year in September, so I'll think of you as I have my first one. You do write well and are open minded, which is an attractive trait in a man of your age!!!! Kisses for Jeanette xxxx
english weather A Canadian friend of mine was visiting the English countryside in August, and absentmindedly said to her husband: It would be lovely to come back in Summer!!
That's so very funny! I had a good laugh because that has been my previous experience. The only way to enjoy the country is to mentally adjust your thinking and look beyond its not too attractive weather at most times to its other attractive features.
Surprise visit to England It is such a lovely warm feeling to just read your blog Roger. I am so happy that at last you see England for (part of) who she really is and there's lots and lots more to see and get to know so I am looking forward to having you back here in the hopefully not so distant future when we can spend longer showing you around and having a lovely time together. So good that you came and reinstated your passion
My name is Roger and I am originally from the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia but now live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. My wife Jeanette and I have traveled to all the continents with the exception of Antarctica but nevertheless still have many other countries and areas that we wish to experience in the future. So far we have visited nearly 76 countries and territories worldwide, some of which we have visited multiple times and counting. We are particularly attracted to Europe and as an example, have visited Belgium six times and Spain four, making it eight times on the continent as of July 2... full info
