A note to explain why I might be quiet for the next few days…
We are currently travelling in Japan, and inbetween sightseeing, trying to keep up with the Small People, and with Mr R (who, having lived here for a while, seems to be on a mission to eat everything on a precompiled list he has- I might really be Big in Japan at the end of this!), I anticipate not having much online time. Never fear, I will be back shortly, and having been here for 2 days so far you might not be that surprised to hear I have already taken over 500 pictures. You have been warned!
Back soon!


Oh brilliant – another virtual tour courtesy of you! Really looking forward to it. Hope you have a wonderful time! X
Thank you! And thanks so much for following it! xx
Hope you’re having a fabulous trip, I love that photo she looks amazing wearing her kimono amongst all the modern surroundings
Thank you Lou! Saw our first real Geisha making her way to an appointment tonight! :)
oooh I can’t wait to see the pictures. I loved Japan when we went and would love to go back some day – v. jealous – enjoy! xx
Thank you! Such an incredible place! Off to Kyoto very shortly! xx
Am just coming out of a longish period of frantic end-of-the-school-year activity myself and looking forward to a few weekend trips – looking forward to hearing recommendations! Bonus – you’re so close to Korea, I bet you’ll find it easy to pick up some good kimchi while you’re there! ; )
Wish I could pop over and say hi! Saw some US Navy boys on the beach earlier, I could have asked them to quickly pop me across! Have had some kimchi too! :D x
Can’t wait to see the photos – I just know they are going to be awesome!
Thank you lovely x
How exciting! Have a wonderful time :)

Thanks so much Leslie! :) x
Have a wonderful time, and take a lot of photos in the science museum :-)
Thank you, and I will! :) x
How exciting! Remember watching Rick Stein on a culinary journey through Japan, and some of the things he tried looked like works of art, almost too beautiful to eat.
Hope you’re having a wonderful time. Bring on the pics! x
Thank you lovely. My poor cameras are definitely overworked, and as for the food… So far it’s been incredible! xx
Wow! Enjoy your trip and can’t wait to see your photos!
Thank you, moving onto the coast today and not sure what the internet connection is like at the next place, but will get some more uploaded when I can! :) x
How amazing!!! I can’t wait to read your posts – I just LOVE Japan and its culture and hope to go there one day – hope you have a wonderful time x
Thank you, so far it’s off the scale as to what I expected, but in a good way! :D x

Ah, Alphaville, those were the days… :o)
Love that first photo and looking forward to seeing many, many more!
Have a fabulous trip and enjoy the food! xx
Thank you FW, they do play that song alot in DE don’t they? It seems to be on the radio every few minutes in Munich! :D Thank you, we will! xx
Ooh I’ll look forward to this. Is it surprising to see women in kimonos or did you expect it? I would have thought western dress would have taken over.
You don’t see all that many in Tokyo, but to me it reminds me of Bavaria and tracht, it’s very traditional and you do see it in some places, we expect to see a lot more in Kyoto where we are going in a couple of days! :)
Brilliant! Have a fantastic holiday x
Thank you! (: xx
Wow, very jealous! Hope you have a fantastic time x
Thank you. It’s nice to have a break from Europe! :D x
Enjoy! And I look forward to the pictures… :)
Thanks Sara! :)
