Oh, those pictures made me long....(sigh).
Loved number 7 of the second set...I could almost taste the salt on my lips.
I haven't been to Cornwall for a few years now.
Ma doesn't go out on tours anymore, so I don't go very far these days(I daren't go so far these days...with Ma and daughter not being in such good fettle).

About 16.45 Hrs today we returned from a very sunny Southern Germany, a week of frolics, large amounts of Lager & scoff to harden yer arteries, I even managed to take a few photies too!

Sunday a visit to "Vulgaria" (Rothenburg ob der Tauber) looked high & low for a "Kid Ctcher" but he must have been on a day off! Anyways. plenty of other stuff to see ....

Markt platz - Klingentor - Altes Rathaus seen from Obere Schmiedgasse - Siebersturm - Inside the walls of the "Spital Bastion" (x2) - Eeh, I want that one full of beer please ..... classic "Touristy tat" (x2) - Mid June, Scorchio & ooh look! A Crimbo shop, just over the road from the Crimbo Museum ????? - Rothenburg ob der Tauber seen from outside the Spital Bastion gates.

Looking forward to more!

Thanks Ma, it was indeed a lovely break with plenty to see & do & the weather was cracking to boot.

getting away is nice. It is just spoilt when you have to come back and knuckle down again.

Monday 12 June & I was persuaded to become a "Pedestrian!" (Shock, Horror! ) for the day. The jallopy was to be left parked at home (A somewhat daunting prospect for a vehiclist like me, feets is for pushing pedals & as for walking somewhere???) & I was introduced to the vagaries, novelty & dubious pleasure of "Buying a ticket" then travelling on the München, U-Bahn & S-Bahn, with all kinds of strange people going to all kinds of strange places.

Viktualienmarkt where we had brekky (x2) - Neues Rathaus in Marienplatz & a close up of the Glockenspiel figures (x2) - Karlstor - Neuhauser strasse looking to the twin domes of the Marienkirche - The Hirmer building, built 1912-14 with the Marienkirche domes in the background - The "Olympiasee" part of the 1972 "Olympia park" built for the Summer Olympics (see what all this walking does for you, the Witchitty one & a couple of kids dunking their feet & poisoning the wildlife (x2) - The Isar, running through the "English Garden".

It was such a pleasure to be out I stayed probably an hour longer than I would normally, I did take a bottle of dandelion and burdock, which I was glad of.
