On our recent trip to the UK, my husband decided to play the fool…..several times! Above here was on a very bouncy ferry from Cherbourg to Poole. The below on Winchester Train station!

Travel theme:Horizon
These are the hills to the south west of our flat.
It’s here we look to for a lot of our weather comes tripping over these hills.
Just in the edge of the Nockberge mountains. I just love the summer colours, much more than the snow!!!!! Look at my blog header!

Travel theme:Meeting places
This is more of a one time meeting place, every five years, on the sportsfield in Tamsweg when there is a huge get together for all the marching bands, Tracten frauen, Shooting groups and jolly clubs -the Volkskultur of Lungau
( I was attacked by a polar bear, sadly he lost his head after I had collected my wits and camera).
But most of all, the entire gang of Samsons in Austria. Here’s the best -the one from Ramingstein!

The Christmas Egg Shop in Salzburg
Couldn’t resist this one after seeing Ailsapm’s visit to Leavensworth. We have a Christmas shop in Salzburg which features decorated Christmas eggs. Here’s a reblog of me last visit there!
Sounds odd doesn’t it? I added the egg bit and you can see why!
We found this shop several years ago, when it was a wet, cold day for tourists in Salzburg and just going into its colourful warmth lifted our spirits.
It does have a wonderful selection of eggs for Christmas and some new themes as shown on my pictures.
Here I want to feature the Easter Eggs. All ready for the Austrian/Catholic/Pagan tradition of having a tree of willow buds decorated in your house on Easter Sunday.
I do a tree too as a bit of colour to enjoy, no belief system.
But aren’t they pretty??????
The shop in in the Judengasse in the old city, so do pop in and enjoy!
