Thanks @Faith-and-Hope, how's your adventure going? Is there a particular thread your putting updates? Jetlag takes about a week to settle I'm told, and I'm sure there's son Celtic wisdom to get over your post viral fatigue How's WH coping with his obcessive routines while travelling? A challenge I would think 😕 Hope this is a time yo rekindle some first love maybe. Any good churches to visit there? Did you go this morning? Love ancient architecture and history. Churches are great for it. Hugz xox
Hadn't thought to start a new thread ....

Re: Far and Away
Hiya @Former-Member ... 😊
Greece is about the same as the UK at the moment, but it varies a bit. Tends to be like Winter in Aus, unless it snows, then it's much colder .... there are mountainous regions, so of course they have snow all Winter.

Re: Far and Away
amazing how many Roman cities there are @Faith-and-Hope well guess not,in a way ..I went to one in Germany to see cousin when there, Trier ..had never heard of it,was big walled city just east of Luxembourg. There was a model of city as was in Roman Times at a museum I went to there. Apparently the local dialect is that far removed that it is an official language; cousin was chuffed that she found an Asterix book in that language to give to her partner, cats in pubs normal there, really low ceilings etc, its on the Rhine re city if you happen to be floating by lol .ok its the Mosel as in wine der thx dr google

Called a "Motte and Bailey" castle ....
A motte-and-bailey castle is a fortification with a wooden or stone keep situated on a raised earthwork called a motte, accompanied by an enclosed courtyard, or bailey, surrounded by a protective ditch and palisade.

Re: Far and Away
Hi @Faith-and-Hope, these castles / structures are sooo old, wow. Love seeing it all with you. And good to read your day to day stuff on the other threat
You said: "... Still having wonky moments with WH, MIL and the kids .... but what's new in that ? Making my way around it on holidays is easier for some things, harder for others, but it all balances out in the end to the same sort of pressures and stresses we have at home .... but we get to see some amazing things along the way at least. When we get to Greece it will be settling down into everyday life there instead of Aus ... shopping, cooking, cleaning, washing, piano practice for the kids, business commitments (via Internet - self employed) ... only thing missing is school, which we're done with anyway. The kids do some work for us to earn their way .... and we can go away for weekends easily there. Cost of living is cheaper, B&B's everywhere for really low cost, clean, basic but nice"
Keep on swimming 🙂
