Germany
Germany is a place that relatively few people choose to visit. Yet it is an extraordinary country, full of surprises, especially for those intrepid explorers with a passion for stepping beyond the boundaries of generally recommended tourist destinations.
Circumstances beyond my control dictated my first few visits to Germany. It was awesome. Of course, it so [...]Greeting Cards – You’re input is welcome!!

Ireland in the Sun is close to paradise. This is the first time in years that I have come home to weather that can only be described as divine. It reminds me of the long endless summers of my childhood, when staying indoors was a concept utterly absent from my mind. Summer holidays meant timelessness [...]
Returning to Ireland
It’s one of those magical days in Ireland when the sun shines in a cloud free, luminous blue sky. A sense of peace and calm permeates the sounds of human activity.

Rock Carriers of Bali
The rock-carrier ladies of these parts have my deepest respect. I have seen them carry everything needed to build the houses that have mushroomed in the rice paddies where I live.

Blog on “blog”

For example, ‘blog’ in Indonesian means stupid.
When I first heard the word (which was not in the too distant past) I couldn’t believe it. For that is exactly how I feel when faced with the enormity of my technological [...]Fire
This year we were given an incredible gift.
Three weeks ago, we received a telephone call that the forests in which houses, that were built over 30 years ago by Pedro and his friends, were ablaze. Firefighters were, at great risk to themselves, trying to control what was truly a dangerous situation. We were told that [...]Christmas & New Year
Pauline wishes everybody a belated Merry Christmas and a premature Happy New Year. She would also like to thanks everyone who visited the site since its recent inception. At the moment I am dealing with the heat of an Australian summer, in an area with very limited internet access. Hence the sporadic contact. Thanks you, [...]
