Now I am home again in Berlin -
and will tell you of my new adventures soon!
Looks like a marvelous trip. Now you can rest until you go on another adventure.
ReplyDeleteYes, dear Emma: it was wonderful - but you are right: a little (!) rest is needed now. :-)
Deleteglad you had such a great time, it looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt was - and I have lots and lots of photos, Louise. Sorry we didn't come near London, thus I could not meet you.
DeleteYou have been busy!
ReplyDeleteAnd somebody is passing the time knitting!
DeleteYes, I am a busy bee, but this was almost a bit much, though lovely.
DeleteThe funny thing is: on the other boat (we had two narrow boats - so many people wanted to join) were to Belgian women, quite young - and they knitted! With huge needles and very thick wool - you could easily see results!
DeleteWhat a wonderful time you have had Britta galavanting around Europe - you have even been to Derbyshire where I was born, and visited Chatsworth House too.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Derbyshire was so beautiful - and you can imagine that I almost swooned seeing all the beauty of the parks, art, and building of Chatsworth House. That day was the top of the cream for me - and the exhibitions there were utterly splendid. (So fine that I might make a blogpost about them).
DeleteYou should have come a little further South and visited me again!
ReplyDeleteI would have liked that so much, Tom - but they didn't let me go! There might be another occasion - I hope to see you and Bath again.
DeleteSplendid, and welcome home!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan! Home is quite restful at the moment, though soon I will have visitors, so preparing starts.
DeleteIt all sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteDear Pondside, I am so glad to hear of you!
DeleteIt all sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWOW Britta, you have been busy and what adventures you have been having.
ReplyDeleteLovely photographs ... I love the ones on the narrow boat ... those locks can be challenging sometimes can't they ?!!! XXXX
Yes - the locks (especially the very big ones) were trying - and so, so many! The route this time was a bit different from both tours before: the hedges too high, so that on seven days the beautiful English landscape was not that often to be seen. But later in the Peak District (with car) the view was stunning!
