Let me tell you: that was extremely cold out there. It was very early ... like about 6:30am ... I was out there for well over an hour ...entranced but my poor hands!!!

Earth has not anything to show more fair:
Dull would he be of soul who could pass by
A sight so touching in its majesty:
This City now doth, like a garment, wear
The beauty of the morning; ...

Well worth the cold hands.

Oh, absolutely ... It was just gorgeous ... I liked London ... want to do it each time I go ... same goes for Paris ...

Start with London ... then have 2 weeks somewhere ... then finish with Paris ... bliss!

I think I'm done with roaming abroad. I just can't get enough of home turf at the moment, especially since we got the van and I started photographing it.

But I'm also with you on London and Paris. They are both wonderful cities that I've visited several times each and would love to visit again.

The thing is, that there are so many places one could go to. Compare with the Womens' Weekly Europe in 21 days: which is a blur.

I would prefer to just choose a few places and dig deeper: detail rather than point'n'shoot. I can't afford to go other than every two years: which limits me. I think I will stick to England, France and Italy.

I'll see ...
