Shoreham Airshow 2007
Me looking brave before taking to the air (and the wing) of the plane. Wow, it was cold !! But the whole experience was totally exhilarating.

Jan's Blog

Computers and the internet are amazing things. One of my concerns with putting together this site was that it could remain current, yet with all my travelling I've often much to say, but little time to say it. Years ago when reading the news it would take me days on end to reply to the kind letters people sent. Now, with the magic of the modern age, I can keep you up to date with what I'm doing and other events in my life.

APOLOGIES

Date: 31st May 2010

I sincerely apologize for not completing my FLORENCE TRIP but for one thing, I've had a lot of paperwork to attend to and then I get a bit downhearted as I rarely get any feedback with regard to my Blogs even though hundreds tune in from around the world.  To my amazement, this week the 'hits' were phenomenal...

Date: 20th May 2010

FLORENCE - Day 2 - The Academia

Date: 2nd May 2010

FLORENCE - Day 2 - The Academia There are times when it really is worth the money to book a guided tour and I'd booked for both the Academia and the Uffizi. We were extremely lucky that we had the guide to ourselves - a very rare occurrence as one is usually tagging along in a group of at least 25 - 30.  We... Read more...


FLORENCE - Day 1

Date: 1st May 2010

FLORENCE - Day 1 General Walkaround and the only sunny day we had in a week. I had booked two guided tours for the Uffizi and the Academia so we decided to spend our first day just wandering and familiarizing  ourselves with the city and all the wonders on offer.  We weren't to know that it would rain...
