Off on another cruise

Loved all your photos, Kickaha - especially the ones of St Petersburg which brought back so many memories for me, especially Catherine's Palace - I really loved all the old buildings there.

Thanks RB! Friends of mine have moved up to Skye - not as far as where you are but still feels a long way from me!

Not been to Skye yet, nor Shetland - This is my year for travelling, so who knows!

Lovely pics, Kickaha! That's a trip I would kill to do, I've wanted to see Russia for years. It was interesting that you stopped in Tallinn, neighbours of ours in Montreal were from Tallinn and I went to high school with their daughter. In fact, I understand he was a policeman there when the Germans overran and his wife and daughter had to flee by boat to Britain with him following as soon as he could.

RB, I've been to Skye, specifically we stayed for a week in Portree way back in the 80's. Lovely little hotel where we encountered duvets for the first time in our lives. I was so enamoured of them I bought one as soon as we got home again!

Diat - I will probably start to travel within the UK, where there are indeed many beautiful places to visit, when my body has tired of all these long haul holidays lol.

I just can't imagine a life now without duvets. I hated blankets - they always made me itch - now I now why - I am allergic to lanolin.

Thanks Diat! There's lot of nice places in the UK of rural charm unsullied by motorways and too much urbanisation - however I find single-track roads stressful to drive along.
