I'm delighted to announce a new journey for 2023. This one is all about Greece. New and existing friends are all welcome.

The photos show the temple remains and theatre at Delphi, Greece. This is one of the most important and mythical sites in the whole of Greece.

Flavours of Europe #Salzburg #Venice seaside and mountains - so much to discover!

A great siren of silver screen leaves these shores. Did you know that ‘La Lollobrigida’ was so famous in the 60s + 70s that wine makers in Le Marche used her shapely form as inspiration for a new bottle design! The idea was to differentiate ‘Verdicchio’ wine in the market place!

Venice awaits us! A year of events and shows, exhibitions and spectacles. #grandtourist #educatedtraveller #italy #venice #discover #explore
