On the evening we arrived to go the ball it was dark and we didn’t … More Village of the Damn…Lovely.

Just back in the door from a wonderful weekend in Karlovy Vary. The highlight of the trip for me was some trees. Really James, you went to one of the most beautiful towns in Europe, if not the world and your favourite part of it was……some trees? Well yes actually, believe it or not I … More Enchanting Forest: Karlovy Vary
The Moravian town of Znojmo has some rather lovely windows. If there was a Czech league table for lovely windows, Znojmo would be right up there. Still have another blog post or three to come from our trip to Znojmo including a classical concert, birds of prey and more photos from this picturesque gem of … More Windows of Znojmo
