COLD DARK ROOM

Thank you She got a medal for it.



Because nobody does anything worth mentioning about the climate change, and the kids say they may not have any future if nothing is done today. Check out Greta Thunberg, who was recently nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

It's good to see the kids being concerned well done to them.
It doesn't seem that many of UK kids are bothered, but then we don't often hear about the good kids - the bad ones get all the media coverage

I hope it's Naples. That is a really neat place to visit in Florida. You can drive through areas that are still pretty natural to get there. Naples prides itself to keep their beach pristine. The first time I ever found a sanddollar was there. It was alive.

A sand dollar? Some form of beach currency they use in Florida??

Harvested our first carrots today. Bottoms for us, tops for torts.

Wow, they look yummy!

I think Jesus may have been misquoted here.

Because, of course, on red one can! Wine not?

Looks very civilised and a beautiful place.
I was going to ask if you had bats in the belfry and seems you do.
Have a great time - it's nice to see the same place in different seasons.

That was one batty pun, Lyn! [emoji23][emoji23]

An easy way to remember Kentucky

I’ll never be able to look at the US map in the same way again. [emoji33][emoji33]

Well done Lena’s daughter

Kids in British schools went on strike about environmental awareness a couple of weeks ago.

I know, huh. I didn't see the man at first, but did eventually.

 

[JoesMum]

Nah. Since I’ve mentioned the Nobel Peace Prize...

Which makes it Sweden or Norway

A very flat type of sea urchin.


The fishmonger in the market today was selling small black sea urchins... I wouldn’t have a clue where to start with cooking! Well not without resorting to Google anyway!

Groan!

I missed it! We are just back from a walk

It will take a while. You didn’t miss anything

Right on! Wish I could say we’re visiting both, but it’s only a mini-cruise to Oslo.

We went to Oslo last spring. We were so lucky with the weather! It was really hot... that was late May though.

We have walked a long way today. The river is at the bottom of a cliff and hiking down to it, and especially back up, is too much in the height of summer due to the heat.

The river was the source of water for the city of Nimes in Roman times (2000 years ago)...

The Romans built an 50km/32 mile long aqueduct to get the water there and the remains of that can still be seen in the valley



The most famous bit of the aqueduct is 20km/12 miles from here... the Pont du Gard. (Photo from Google, but we have been there many times and walked over it
