Mr Blue Sky...

I'm celebrating our little bit of warmer weather by creating a holiday theme as my header.  Here are a few of my favourite places...


Barmouth Railway Bridge (on the left).  I love the photo opportunities offered by this interesting bridge in such a dramatic setting.  We've stayed a couple of times in a little B+B that overlooks the bridge and the estuary.  My favourite memories are of sitting at the dining-room window, eating breakfast in the sun and watching the tide turn.  Perfect!


Bath (middle picture).  We've had loads of lovely weekends away in Bath - especially over the winter. These pictures were taken in early January.


Grandcamp-Maisy, Normandy (on the right).  We used to spend up to a month a year in France when exchange rates were favourable and holidays on the continent were really cheap.  Nowadays it seems to be almost impossible to get the deals.   This photo was taken at Easter 2011, when we managed to rent a sweet little house in Isigny-sur-Mer at a superb rate because Solihull's holidays were 'out of synch' with everyone else!


Grandcamp-Maisy is part of the Landing Beaches area.  We enjoyed some fabulous coastal walking as well as time spent exploring the WW2 legacy.


Hope that you are enjoying the blue skies!

  1. Fabulous photos Jan. That dining room setting looks amazing. We've enjoyed lunch and tea in the garden for the last 2 days - bliss.

  3. How lovely to spend a month in France. Your photos are lovely. We're going to the Dordogne next month and really looking forward to it. Never been there before. Px

  4. France is wonderful isn't it! I would love to visit Bath properly; we have only ever driven through and it is on my 'to-do' list xx

  5. I love the blue sky in Utah - we are privileged to get more than most of the country.

  6. Now that is a room with a view, such a wonderful place to eat a leisurely breakfast. I've never been to Bath, there's just so many places in England that I'd love to visit.
