The perils of research for this quilter.

  The Bayeux Tapestry, my passion, my joy and my Mt Everest.   Here in London I’m doing a little climbing again right now. Yesterdays tour was to view part of Windsor Castle that was build by William the Conqueror and today was to attend the Viking exhibition at the British Museum.   I wrote…

London another adventure.

It’s 4.30 am at home so I can’t talk to the troops. I won’t stay awake too much longer so I will have to try and visit tomorrow morning my time.   I’ve been away from home for 12 days and it seems like a lifetime, but I have another 80 days to go and I…

It’s been a funny trip.

  Its been  a funny trip,   I heard someone ask the staff at the desk today, “What time is the 1:00 o'clock tour?"  The staff politely said 1:00 o’clock madam!!!! Yesterday I heard someone in the lift say that they had a porthole cabin because they always need to see the port and someone asked…

Trolls, and passports.

Once again I lost 2 hours of blog writing and posting. Grrrr. OK, I guess it’s good practice but the internet is intermittent  as you can imagine and it costs an arm and a leg so sadly I’m now lame and one handed.  This tour has been amazing, unlike other cruises we have been close…

Hi Ho, Hi ho, its off to work we go.

Its almost 6.00 am and I've been up for an hour or so… if I see light outside the window, its time to get out of bed. I've begun this blog three times today. It's not jet-lag, just business. Somehow the gremlins got in and deleted them.  I was racing back and forth to the room…

The trials of travels – or is it just that I’m fussy.

The sun has hit the window and it appears that today is going to be the warmest day of the year. Lucky us. The time change left me with a broken sleep. But I did sleep some and I guess I have time to catch up tonight. This experienced traveler booked a hotel at the…

Coffee culture.

I'm a coffee snob of sorts, Don't shoot me down, but I find it hard to get good strong coffee in a cafe in America and it was one of my delights in Singapore to sup the low cost delight at least five times during my one day   visit. I think there is nothing…

A day of inspiration in Singapore.

Pick up your camera and see. I was wondering if I was going to be able to get out and photograph, because the  day began with a huge thunderstorm. Then again I had time to relax and catch up on computer business. I caught the local bus from my hotel to Chinatown. It took about…

Travel is a state of mind.

I’m writing this in the confines of my plane seat.   What to do to pass the time? I drew the first Mexican tile for my travel quilt. I can't put it on fabric until I get on the ship… I don't want to open the work case.!!!! The movies were fine, but the images…
