Black Canyon of The Gunnison was the next major stop in Colorado. From Ouray, through the functional Montrose, getting to the canyon was a sight to behold. It's a very different canyon, primarily due to the age of the rock it's formed of, much older than Canyonlands etc. Laid down between 1.4 and 1.8 billion… Continue reading Rocking in Colorado

The Art in Everyday Life
We woke up to a snowy landscape so Jigsaw the Snowshoe cat was in her element. Thankfully though, we had sun to melt it as we were on the move. Still pretty cold at such high elevations but we didn't fancy being stuck! Our last day in Colorado, for now, we headed to a small… Continue reading The Art in Everyday Life
Clicking our Heals
Starting to head back to the big ticket places in Northern Arizona, Utah and Colorado for spring, we were in all kinds of places.

We know we are… Continue reading Giving Thanks Y’all

What a job eh, in such temperatures, feeding the world with a vegetable so difficult to eat! Tasty though,… Continue reading Our Just Deserts….
How do you eat an elephant?
Can you believe that this is blog 74? No, nor can we to be honest! That pesky pandemic thwarted our plans to do a long haul trip so we pottered around Europe, biding our time until finally we could start making it a reality. And here we are, in gorgeous Canada! Adopting the "How do… Continue reading How do you eat an elephant?
Daft in Delft, Giddy in Gouda
We don't have anything against Germany but we didn't have enough time to stay longer than an overnight as we were heading towards Hollands Hook. Primarily a autobahn drive we had the pleasure of the "woosh-mobiles" again, more or less flying past us at ridiculous speeds, for company. It got us talking about how we… Continue reading Daft in Delft, Giddy in Gouda
