Hope you all had a great weekend, too.
I'll be back on Wednesday, talking about the A-Z Challenge and how to blog like it's not a chore. Until then, grab a chocolate from the photo above and enjoy!

Not in Bruges
I'm back! After a weekend of eating... drinking... eating... drinking (can you spot a pattern?), Mr TR and I returned late last night from Bruges. It's a fantastic place -- around every corner is yet another wonderful sight and the canals make it seem so peaceful. My phone is playing up, but I have managed to download a few of my many photos. Enjoy!
Hope you all had a great weekend, too.

Wales - Journey to Hay on Wye
There were so many amazing photos to choose from, and these are but a few from our journey through the Wye Valley and the Black Mountains to Hay-on-Wye in Wales. If you want to see more and you're on Facebook, I'll upload them to my account. It truly is a feast for the eyes and we had such an amazing time! See my post below for the Town of Books, Hay-on-Wye.

Glorious two days in Wales, with the sun shining and some real warm temperatures! Our final destination was the Town of Books, Hay-on-Wye, just north of the Black Mountains. The town holds a massive litarary festival every year at the end of the May, and with over 40 bookshops it's more than earned its place in Britains literary elite. Off tomorrow to Brighton but I'm back to regular programming on Monday. Happy weekend!
The River Wye, just outside the town centre.
Lots of biking and footpaths, with all signs in Welsh, too!
Our B&B, called The Start. Glorious!

This shop was called The Book Passage. And it was - literally!
The largest second-hand bookshop in the world, Richard Booth. In the 70s, Booth declared himself King of Hay on Wye, and even issued passports for the residents.
