You deserve it! ;o)

Which bits of Europe did you get to – I wonder if we’ve been to any of the same bits. There’s huge amounts of Europe I’ve not been anywhere near, but I’ve got around a bit … so to speak.

If you asked me what my favourite type of landscape was I’d never think of saying saltmarsh, but it really is lovely up there! You DEFINITELY need to be bundled up though! Maybe you’ll get to see it one day. Free entry to the Penguin household provided you bring a home-made chocolate pizza!

I’m proud of you. Inspired, too. I’ll have to get Mr Wren up off his duff so we can GO somewhere for a change!

I used to live in Bremerhaven, Germany. A good deal of the coast north of the city consists of mud flats and marshy land, and I used to love walking along the sea dike there, as long as I was bundled up. It was while I was there that I was first diagnosed with RA. I was in my early 30s, thrilled to be living in Europe, and full of plans for places I wanted to go and to see while I was there. And I did, during that six years, though I was often in pain. My friends just got used to me limping along, bringing up the rear.

I love the photo of the boat. Oh, how I’d love to visit Great Britain (OK, I’d love to live there). Maybe one day I can.

Hope this week is kind to you, Polly. Cheers!
