More holiday snaps to show you, as you will know from my previous blog posts I went on a cruise recently, we spent some time in Venice and then it was on to Kotor, Montenegro for our first stop off. Our next stop was Corfu. Corfu is one of the Greek Islands. While in Corfu we visited the town, the Palace grounds and also the old fortress which dominates the east side of the city of Corfu. There was fabulous views from here and we enjoyed just strolling around and taking everything in. It was a glorious day and I even did a bit of shopping. I won't bore you with all the details as I have a lot of blog posts about my travels. The pictures say it all, enjoy.

As you are aware I was on my holidays last week, the first stop was Venice which I posted about here. Next stop was Kotor in Montenegro. Montenegro has a coastline on the Adriatic Sea and is bordered by Craotia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Albania. Kotor is a lovely coastal town which is tucked away in the Bay of Kotor. The scenery and views are amazing on approach. The old town is a nice place to stop off and visit, it is full of old world charm with lots of cobbled streets and heritage buildings. It is designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Below are a few of my photographs from our visit. Montenegro is an up and coming tourist destination but you have seen it here first :)

If you have read my previous post A Visit to Venice you will know that I was on my holidays last week which was amazing- so relaxing and great to get away for a change. We didn't go anywhere at all last year so we needed a break. My husband works 365 days of the year so he deserved the break too. I had to buy a new camera in a rush before we headed off on our holidays. It is a small canon camera which is much better than my previous one. I am no photographer but yesterday evening I decided to venue out for a walk around the lanes on the farm. Here are a few images I took of my walk. The image with the tree below was taken using the zoom and it was probably about a mile away from me across the lake. You can see that the colours of the trees are changing slowly but the weather is still lovely and mild for this time of year.

I was away on holidays for the last week and took a break from blogging. I had an amazing holiday visiting Venice Italy first, then getting a cruise to Kotor Montenegro, the island of Corfu. mainland Greece, the island of Mykonos and the island of Kefolonia. We had to do a quick stop off near to Split in Croatia. Then it was back to Venice to catch the wedding of George Clooney. Yes I was on the VIP list!

Below are a few images I took in Venice. The weather was warm but overcast and there was some thunder on the first night but it didn't last for long. Luckily enough we were eating at that time so it didn't bother us. Venice is a beautiful city, so unique with the waterways, the bridges, the narrow lane ways and the wonderful architecture. There are no cars in the city which is great. I would recommend to anyone thinking of visiting to visit in September/October or early Spring as I can imagine the volume of tourists in the summer months could get frustrating. If you have never visited, you really should try as it is well worth it.

Firstly, no I am not a cat woman at all! We have no pets here at our house. But... we have plenty of cats on the farm- they are good at keeping away the mice and also nice for company about the place. When I moved here over 2 years ago there were 3 cats. Sadly the oldest one Muffin died and then one of the cats had kittens, so I got to keep one which I named Tommy. Tommy is the one below with the heart nose- isn't he cute? So we then had three cats on the farm. My father in law feeds them but they are pretty wild and only Tommy like let you near him. Then another wee kitten arrived last year and we named him Tilly (see bottom photograph). So now we have four cats in residence on the farm and every so often we have a few visitor cats come around at feeding time. Do you have any cats? We don't have any dogs at all, as I don't think they would hit it off with the cats.
