Way back in 2015 – yes that really is ten years ago – I decided to post photos of the numerous benches sitting in my folders. It seemed that I was not alone and suddenly it turned into the Bench Challenge where I set a particular criterion each month and people joined in posting their … Continue reading Bench Challenge Anniversary| TRAVEL WORDS

Last Sunday, my Spanish grandaughters went to fairyland. Actually, they went to Mother Shipton’s Cave. This long-established tourist site is where, back in the 1500s, a woman we now know as Mother Shipton apparently prophesied many things which came to pass, such as the Great Fire of London, and the invention of the iron ship. … Continue reading "A Bench for a Fairy or Two"| From Pyrenees to Pennines
Benches found in Canet de Mar, with an image behind celebrating Empowerment, Sisterhood and Feminism. Incidentally, how many benches can you spot? There are more than you might at first think. For …| From Pyrenees to Pennines
Breakfast on the patio Sometimes I just can’t help myself! I downloaded my photos and looked back at lovely little Salema, and I knew I’d just have to share them. We only had an overnig…| Still Restlessjo
Summer’s not my best time for sharing walks because, in truth, we do as little walking as we can when it’s hot. Hence the monthly round ups. It doesn’t come naturally to me to stay at home, and many mornings I have an activity I can join, if I want to. Then we decide what … Continue reading Jo’s Monday medley -13| Still Restlessjo
There are places you take to, and places you don’t. Badajoz was definitely in the latter category, which is probably why it’s been side-lined until now. I can be kinder, looking back.

Sometimes it’s hard to pick up again when you’ve posted something really beautiful. Or is that just me? I loved those gardens last week. I’ve dabbled in and out of my photos this past week, distracted by squaring reds and the need to finalise bookings for my September trip to Poland. As Monday approaches, a … Continue reading Jo’s Monday walk : Senhora da Rocha| Still Restlessjo
Most people will tell you that Lisbon is a beautiful city. These days it sprawls far and wide, and it takes a little effort to unearth some of its real gems. It was already hot in the city when we set out, on foot, to visit the Palacio Fronteira. We were staying close to the … Continue reading Jo’s Monday walk : Palacio Fronteira| Still Restlessjo
Some photos just don’t square well, do they? I did try, but I prefer the original. The door above greeted us as we drove into Vila do Conde in evening sunshine, but there was a fine sea mist …| Still Restlessjo
