Visit to INTERNAUTICA International Boat Show 2023 I might have mentioned before that Her Ladyship is a total landlubber and that the mere thought of boats makes her seasick. So you could have knocked me over with one of my own feathers when I heard her agreeing to join His Lordship on a visit to INTERNAUTICA in Portorož. She must be going a bit soft in her old age. Whatever promoted her, I didn’t care. I was going to a…
La Gacilly Baden Photo Festival 2022 When I heard that the Oldies were heading for Baden, I braced myself for the worst.

They practically take the roof off it as they come into land at Lisbon international airport. For ages now, Her Ladyship has been desperate to find out what this impressive circular red brick building close to the city centre actually is. Genius detective…
