It amazes me the engineering feats of the old days without the equipment that we now have, and it all lasted so much better than things which are built today!!<br /><br />We would have loved to have taken our bikes but we have done little cycling this year. Nigel has been having treatment for a wonky knee and I have not had enough time.<br /><br />I would love one of those caravans, yes even as a spare room it would look pretty in the garden :-)<br /><br />Take it easy and hope all is on the mend DianeDianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782670749466305626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945050858396741262.post-65805708370602630522013-11-05T21:21:44.607+01:002013-11-05T21:21:44.607+01:00Hi Diane .. what lovely shots .. and clever engine...Hi Diane .. what lovely shots .. and clever engineering with the canals. I can't believe how far the Romans, Normans and Vikings travelled ... no doubt many others of our ancestors too.<br /><br />I love the repairs that are being carried out - the glass work, and the ceiling ... so fascinating to see ... and oh what a bicycle tour in the sunshine would do to my morale .. not sure my butt could sit on it for too long!<br /><br />La Rochelle is very tempting to visit ... a girl-friend many years ago in Ireland was going to set up with a gypsy home like that one .. she never did sadly .. but we enjoyed using it as an extra room when I was staying there.<br /><br />Cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945050858396741262.post-40837977003196299172013-11-04T13:29:48.247+01:002013-11-04T13:29:48.247+01:00Lena I have to agree that caravan looks like a gre...Lena I have to agree that caravan looks like a great way to have a quiet holiday.

Afraid videos are out of the question but not out of choice. We live in the country and we have a very slow internet connection. I am unable to watch any videos that other people put on their blogs and YouTube is impossible. Therefore it is impossible for me to put videos on my blog; not only would they take a life time to download, but I would not even be able to look at them after and check if they were OK. C'est la vie I am afraid. <br /> I apologise that my posts have got further and further apart, I have so much to put into them but time has become more and more difficult. I am posting as often as I can, but I feel at the moment this whole year which has given me so much is just not going to print. I hope that I can catch up and post more often but it does not look like it will happen in the near future. Before retirement I went to work and had time, now I do not go to work but time is at a minimum!! I am happy that you have enjoyed my post despite there being no video and I will be happy to see you return.
