Your Place in the Sun

Pity the poor British people who, while having a lovely, historic and diverse place to live, also have the agonizing problem of deciding which sunny location they should turn to in order to rent or purchase a sunny spot to escape the grey and unpleasant weather that is a major part of their everyday lives.…

Sandoy Joy

Life's simple pleasures are the best, especially when Mother Nature puts hurdles in your way and you find a way around it. In this post, the hurdle was rather huge: millions of years of rock and water, all part of living in Sandoy, the first of the five southern islands that make up…

Getting a little personal. . .

We recently stumbled upon this video from ohAFRO and were rather taken aback. Firstly, the title is rather, shall we say, straightforward. Nothing wrong with that, we guess. But we still thought it was a wee bit brazen. Nonetheless, the channel posted it on YouTube, so they must know what they're…

Stone Botherings

In this post, we focus on Europe and more specifically, the UK. We write about these places a lot simply because the UK and Europe are top travel locations. (For reference here, England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom, UK.) It shares land borders with Wales to…

Panama Banal?

Hardly! And, so, here's another post for those with palpable wanderlust. Are you the type? Do you long to see everywhere on the planet before you shuffle off this mortal coil? Do you have no problems with wandering through the weeds or the woods to find yourself in nowhere, so to speak?…

Game on!

For many decades, hunting wild animals was "the thing to do" if you considered yourself as a "sportsman." Never mind that dozens of species were dying out because of the "sport." Luckily, many more forward thinking people realised that hunting was not sustainable. The most significant criticism revolved around the impact on…

Cruel Britannia?

Perusing YouTube today, we landed on a video about the UK hotel chain Britannia hotels. After a little digging, we discovered that there were quite a few reviews, and - at least as the YouTube reviews went, things were not looking good. In fact, some of what was discovered by the YouTube sleuths, the…

Senegal – Solving tomorrow’s problems?

As of this writing, it's January 30, 2024, the planet is still on fire. We humans are not getting it. It's not like we don't know what's happening, or why, or how to fix it. According to NOAA's 2023 Annual Climate Report the combined land and ocean temperature has increased at an…
