Oft described as the most beautiful castle in South Tyrol, Schloss (Castle) Wolfsthurn was high on our list during our recent South Tyrol trip, given that it was a mere stones throw from our base in Vipiteno. It’s also home to the South Tyrolean Museum of Hunting & Fishing, which forms part of a trio […]
Sunday Photo – Follow Your Own Path
Bending the rules slightly with the Sunday Photo time limitations – this photo was taken a little over a week ago now, but when editing a load of Mountain Pics for a new post, I found this one and it made me laugh so much. I believe I had said something along the lines of […]
Nesting
A little interval in my Sud Tirol posts to give you a kind of mini tour of the new house, a sort of before and after if you will. There have been a few requests! Talk to most expats that have made that return trip, and I guarantee that nearly all of them will tell […]

Sunday Photo – Mountain King
I think the title says it all… Probably one of my favourite photos to date!

I am going to make the most of catching up, so on to our nose around Nérac very recently, a relatively small town on the Southern edge of […]

Nerac, Nympheas and Nightmarkets – 4 Days in France
Apart from our Meeting Monkeys in Alsace and Colmar expedition a couple of years ago, France has been somewhat neglected by us of late. Not intentionally, just one of those things… From Munich, flights were extortionate to the part of France we needed to get to (I am not joking, we could have flown to […]
