Greeting from Maribor! Home of the oldest vine in the world, and in the Guiness Book of records. Yesterday morning, a lovely young lady called Laura took us on a guided tour of the city. I know. It’s a hard task – but somebody’s got to do it! Blue skies, and spring is most certainly in the air. These trees are all along the water’s edge. We couldn’t work out what they were… Asked Laura, and believe it or not,…
Hiya!Thanks for popping in! Just a quickie before we set off on our adventure today. We are being collected at 9 from the hotel to do some sightseeing for the morning. I know.

All through the mall are tables of crafters, being taught be artists and artisans from all over the world. This beautiful…
Hi there! Perga/Burger Man again! Just had a garbled call from Barbara & Linda….. Apparently, they are stuck in a shopping centre with a poor signal (yeah right!) and could I post the blog that she prepped earlier! Mmmmmm, what do we think? “Stuck” in a shopping centre? Don’t you call that late night shopping? I think Barbara mentioned something about 2 new dresses, a handbag, shoes, chocolate before the call cut out! Anyway, I’ll let you decide if they…

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. TGIF! Today I want to take you to London, to discover a precious jewel hidden in the heart of London. Sir John Soane’s Museum is located at Lincoln’s Inn Fields. It’s just round the corner from Holborn Undergound. Our Jim at work recommended we visit it when next in the city. So on Wednesday, after our business meeting, we hopped on the tube at Marylebone, and were there in no time. The London Underground really is…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Been doing projects for the New Design Clubs all day. Two down, one to go. It is a mammoth task you know, this Club. Three clubs in fact. Stamp, stencil and Groovi.
