Magnificent May

It was a magnificent month, May. It left me feeling very grateful.

Hop on Hop off Vienna

We chose to do a solo ride in Vienna rather than join a bike excursion or the hop on hop off bus. We basically did a hop on hop off bike for 40.2 as we  meandered through Vienna.

Vineyards, villages and vistas

I wrang every last amazing second out of the day and savoured every last vista, vineyard and village.

The End & The Beginning

We awoke to sunshine, blue skies and the realization that our wonderful Danube bike tour was ending in mere hours.

From one country to another

Well, that was a first. We went to sleep in one country and woke up in another. Austria at bedtime and Slovakia in the morning. That was the theme for today’s biking! Finding where the borders were was slightly tricky.

Bike to ferry & repeat

It was a stellar day. Perhaps it’s always easy to have a good day when the weather is perfect and one is having an excellent adventure.

The Road Most Traveled

I know that’s not the way the famous lines from Robert Frost’s poem begins, but for me, it’s been a constant in my life: that road most traveled.

Annabelle and the Snowman

Annabelle rolled and rolled the heavy wet snow.

Such a gift

There is a warm soft glow to my week. The kind that a spring blizzard and rib pain can’t take away. The kind of glow that lasts for years, indeed this is just the start.

For every season

If you’ve been reading along here for any length of time, you’ve probably figured out how frugal I am. Or thrifty or whatever word one fancies. I mean, we recycled an entire house, so it stands to reason I am one to “make due”. So why throw out if you can extend the life of an object? It is better for the environment, the pocket book, and sometimes all the sentimental feel goods.
