Bike off the Barge

This post will go into the biking details of our recent trip down the Danube River, but the basic info would apply to most any bike and barge. Which is an absolute stellar way to travel; both the bike aspect and the barge.

Vineyards, villages and vistas

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

Discovery Day in Passau

I want to write that I awoke to the sounds of the town square coming to life. Alas, it was the rumbling of the shower doors that sparked morning life into my brain. But with blue skies, new sights, and a hungry stomach, it was time to meet the new day. The window, wide open, revealed bright green trees, bird song, and the people noises were a lovely backdrop which washed away the very long travel day.

Just one thing x 37

We would all like some quick and simple ways to improve our health. But we are inundated with often conflicting advice. If you were going to try just one thing to improve your mental and physical health, what should it be?

Dr. Micheal Mosley

An old fav

It seems quite ludicrous, really, but it’s a true story. I am about to share one of my favourite meals and that the recipe came from the most unlikely source.

Hit the spot

The snow was pelting down, being whipped around by the driving wind. It was the kind of day that one craves comfort food. Especially seems it was a harrowing afternoon…

Short sweet February

Gone in the blink of an eye, just like Franklin’s fly pie, a reference probably lost on many. But still a good reflection of what the heck happened to the 28 days of February.

Sundaystills “Connecting”

It felt like mumbo jumbo…the year end post and a couple of blog challenges and the word of the year. Nothing flowing at all.

And then, what was right in front of my face appeared plainly while I was out for a snow shoe on a bright sunny day.

Not according to plan

It started out on track and then skidded sideways. It made me draw deep a deep breath and realize that sometimes things don’t go according to plan. I wasn’t going to blog about it but was encouraged to share the mishap.

Thankful for Cranberries

This is a true story about my Nanna and my cranberrry chutney. Not together but the threads tie it up like a trussed turkey.
