Out And About.

Sounds a bit like the spot in Lord of the Rings were there force back to find and use, after having accidentally entered the rapids.

Sadly, wandering Toronto is nowhere near as cool as wandering around in the UK countryside
- where you can stumble across Iron Age hill forts or Georgian manor houses!

One of my dreams is of someday travelling there again for a ramble, when this damned plague is over with.

I think the travel industry is going to get a lot of business post-plague.

That's exactly my intention come the Spring/Summer.

Avebury's / Mid-West Wiltshire is a good area to stumble upon a lot of stuff from different ages, bump into you there? 

Hadrian's Wall its a good ramble, but given advancing age, it'll probably seem like a route march to me now.

Post-plague languish ramble  ?

Post-plague languish ramble  ?

Or a non-urban death march would be equally cool.

A couple impressions from the Switzerland trip (in the area where the cantons Zürich, Zug, and Schwyz meet):










(not our car)


Interesting how high you can pile snow on things.


The way back

[Maladict]

very nice

Fridays is when my cleaning lady comes and I leave the house for a couple of hours. Today is a proper early spring day. I took a walk through Volksgarten and First District (the pedestrian area is crazy busy with deliveries before 9 am ) and to Stadtpark where I lounged in the sun (after wiping down a dewy bench) while listening to a podcast. Then slowly made my way back home, but not without more sun lounging in the park between Kunsthistorisches and Naturhistorisches Museum under the gaze of Maria Theresia.

Volksgarten early in the morning.


Swans and gulls at the Stadtpark.


Crows hanging out like hoodlums.

I liked how it seems she's stuck up on that high pedestal, and signalling for help by pointing to Daun.
That doesn't work at all in German, but still.

Very nice Syt, Spring has definitely arrived, daffodils and snowdrops out here.

I like you two tone crows, the grey makes them look like they're wearing morning suits.

Btw, saw this sign mounted on the Künstlerhaus. Not sure what they were thinking mounting the transparent sign over the gold letters like this.

Cold again here for a few days, but it won't deter the arrival of Spring, daffodils, snowdrops and many scrub/bushes already flowering.

Had a nice early evening ride, nearly lost all sensation in my fingers, but there's usable light at 6.45  GMT.

And British Summer Time is in three Sundays time.

It's cold but dry, I've been enjoying the crisp spring air. And yes, summer time is around the corner
