Monday Morning Blues – The Sun Voyager, Reykjavik in Iceland
I visited Iceland in January 2015, when the days were really short but the nights quite magical.
Monday Morning Blues – Trondheim, Norway
I am just back from my 4th visit to Trondheim, the former capital of Norway. Here is a picture of Hanseatic buildings in the city.
Monday Morning Blues – Westminster Abbey, London

I walked alongside the queue to Westminster Hall last Friday, a stroll that brought home just how much Queen Elizabeth II meant to so many people. Rest in peace your […]

Monday Morning Blues – Port Olimpic, Barcelona
Barcelona waterfront was redeveloped for the 1992 Olympics, an area that I first stayed by in 2000 on our honeymoon. It is an area choc full of lovely fish restaurants and a scattering of pricey hotels. The hop on hop off buses also head there. Well worth a stop to walk barefoot in the sand […]
Monday Morning Blues – The Black (Blue) Sea in Sevastopol
I took this picture in 2011 whilst visiting Ukraine. A lovely September day when Crimea was firmly part of Ukraine.
