When we first got married in 2009, we vowed to go away to somewhere different every year. Covid, however had different ideas....?
Full of optimism, we booked a motorhome holiday to go around the 500 in the Highlands of Scotland in 2021.....again Covid had different ideas...?
Thankfully we were able to put back our motorhome holiday until 2022 without losing our deposit ?. Sadly in September 2021 Read on...

This is a great story, please read! Other bicycle facts: If youve ever ridden a tandem bike, you know that it can be tricky to get one moving. So just imagine how hard it must have been to ride a bike that stretched for 135 feet and 10.7 inches, making it the longest bicycle in the world. Crafted by Santos and the University of South Australia in 2015, a group of cyclists did manage to ride the bi Read on...

It has been a while since posting on this platform. This was always my basic keep friends informed channel. The special quality of this site in particular was that it always seemed to be active and accessible in China and worked relatively well.
My Sakya Resource Guide (SRG) website from the early 1990s is gone. The internet went out of business, or changed, and dumped all websites. I had somethi Read on...

From The Press: Sonoma Countys signature grape varieties are Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Those also happen to be two of the predominant grape varieties grown in Champagne, so it makes perfect sense that this coastal region should produce sparkling wine.
Sensing the promise of California viticulture, many descended on Napa County in the century to try their hand at American sparkling wine. Sonoma Read on...
On Thursday, October 17th, we arrived in the coastal city of Essaouira from the vibrant city of Marrakesh. As much as I enjoyed that great city, and even earlier visiting the red sand desert climes of the Sahara, I couldnt wait to be near the ocean again.

I was going to make my camp at the pay campground at Canjilon Lakes. I was sad that the large aspen trees were gone so I drove on to find a new camp. I drove East on FS 110 through a nice forest. The road conditions got poor so I had to drive my old truck slower. I drove over a mountain pass called Mogote Ridge; then it was an easy downhill drive. Not far down from the ridge I found a nice large l Read on...
Started out from our motel just after 8am. Fine drizzle had started and temperature in the low 20s this morning so We soon crossed the Mississippi River and were now in the State of Mississippi and as the sign on the bridge said the home of American music.

Our track took us onto some narrow sealed roads betwee Read on...
