Happy Thursday to ye all. Today I want to show you a very special Eurovision song from the contest in Sweden in the year I was born, 1975. This was the competition following on from Abba's huge win in 1974 with 'Waterloo'. The 1975 winner 'Ding-a-dong' from the Netherlands has not stood the test of …

Hi all! Here in Australia we have just had a televised contest to choose the song that we will send to Europe. It was the sort of affair that completely mimicked the contest itself, and the winner was Kate Miller Heidke with 'Zero Gravity', a very Eurovision song indeed, one with that added dose of …
It has been suggested to me that writing about food and restaurants is something I could do more of. Or any of, really! So I decided I would create a somewhat regular blog called ‘Tasting X’ talking about different places I have eaten apropos to some sort of review, I guess. I’m going to look …
Hi all. Yes, another itinerary for you, to one of my absolute favourite countries in the world. In mental preparation for writing about the UK, I realised that despite four trips to the UK thus far, I really have sold myself short on the UK because there are loads of places I have not yet …
I’ve been reticent to write much about Mostar in the past, because well, I don’t have a lot of strong memories about the place really and I don’t feel I saw that much. But it was certainly interesting enough to warrant a post, and I was thinking about what I was going to write about …

Howdy all. I thought with today’s post I would get all sentimental-like and reminisce about my first time as a backpacker in Europe, as part of my first time around the world back in 1999. Yep – LAST CENTURY! I’m old. So anyways, on this occasion I concentrated on Western Europe. For the sake of …

Today I've decided to go back through my photos to 2004 and my journey to the Czech Republic. I only got to three places - Prague, Olomouc and Kutna Hora, famous for it's crypt/ossuary decorated with human bones including a load of heads. But the photos are still pretty interesting! I hope you enjoy! …
One of my favourite cities in all of the world! And some photos specifically from 2004, 2011 and 2017! Enjoy! Thanks for casting an eye! Take care - and May the Journey Never End!
Hi all. Time to change it up a little. Today I’m looking at one of the larger Eastern European countries, Romania. It’s been well over a decade since I visited Romania, but I still remember it as a great destination for a variety of reasons. Here, today, are five of them! It’s Varied! From the …
