Still in Nice!

Reading Akin has brought back memories of our stay in Nice last year. We visited many of the places mentioned. And I just realised we were staying only a few minutes from the Hotel Excelsior!
This photo was taken on the roof of the MAMAC, in the reflection you can see the hill MC Noah climbed to visit his grandparents' grave.

The darkness throbbed with the clamour of church bells.

What a lovely gift, thank you 😊.
We had a belated gift opening yesterday afternoon as we were travelling on Christmas Day, we waited until we were all together.
There may have also been some yummy fudge 😋

There always seems to be more roadkill just after the weekend.

Thankyou Misty @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
Your card arrived today. It‘s a long way from Mississippi to Tasmania.
Thinking of you this Christmas ❤️ and wishing you peace, love and happiness

Roadtrip read. Quirky/sad.
Book no. 141 of my 140 challenge, so I have updated my GR target to 144 🤞

1. I‘ve never had Christmas in the snow, so I‘d like to experience that
2. Little Women. Not a Christmas novels per se but the Christmas scenes are iconic

Braydon Hill consists of excellent gravel, which is carted off for garden walks and carriage roads to a great distance round.
Such a great opening - I had to share!

Lindsay Gordon put murder to the back of her mind and settled down in the train compartment to enjoy the broken greys and greens of the Derbyshire scenery.

Word reached the twins that a puma was taking shepherds up in the highlands.

In downtown LA - humongous

Just landed back in Australia and I've hit 9999!

A favourite when I was a child. I think only read it as a Readers Digest edition though.
Spotted at the lovely Hollyhock House LA.

The dark wood was green and gold, green where the oak trees stood crowded together with misshapen twisted trunks, red-gold where the great smooth beeches lifted their branching arms to the sky.

Civil war, racism and colonial history but a great read about the power of community

Big question but I went with my lifetime top 3 - Jane Austen, Ethel Turner and Harper Lee

I don‘t know why I feel guilty, it‘s not like I killed the guy.

Sporadic efforts from my photo library as I‘m travelling

I heard about the promise Edward made to his dying wife long before I met him.

My daughter loved Wilson‘s books

The bitter howls of winter, uncertainty, and a soon-to-be forgotten war rolled over the sleepy dark hills of Thousandsticks, Kentucky, in early March, leaving behind an angry ache of despair.

Limited internet access, the only ‘tombstone‘ I could find on my device. My Norwegian great-great grandparents, whom I visited in 2016.
