Balmoral in Scotland is definitely on a list somewhere.
In the meantime, this will have to do – Balmoral Cl at Mount Sheridan, in the southern suburbs of Cairns in FNQ

We’d love to go to Gibraltar, the British city at the southern tip of Spain facing Africa.
I want to see the Rock of Gibraltar, but until then, Gibraltar Rd in Bowral will have to do.
It’ll cost a fortune to get the dog there…
On our first ever European trip in 2013, Robyn and I flew in to Paris and stayed at an apartment on Rue St Jacques, midway between the Sorbonne and Notre Dame Cathedral.
(Stuart Greene, we will never forget that recommendation!)
We were like school children, giddy with excitement.
Paris didn’t disappoint.
This Jacques at Chatswood didn’t quite measure up, but hey, who can complain about a walk in the Sydney sunshine during a winter COVID lockdown.
(And yes, legal; Chatswood is within our 10km travel bubble.)
Loved our first trip to the Cotswolds.
Last week we snuck in for a (legal/within 10km) visit.
Some amazing houses – anyone who knows Strathfield, just off The Boulevard, will know what I mean.

A lovely walk this weekend to Buckingham Palace Rd.
Behind Killara golf course, a beautiful tree tunnel leads to a pretty street with some huge blocks.
Belgium Ave in Roseville is just beautiful.
Huge blocks, beautifully presented houses; one of the prettiest streets we’ve walked this year.
And how good that the local shop sells Lindt hot chocolate! When in Belgium…
Como is gorgeous!
Last visit we enjoyed a trip on the lake; this time we had to make do with a stroll through the quieter part of town.

So this weekend, while on the Gold Coast for a conference, we went to Bali.
We haven’t been since 1996.
It’s changed!

So this weekend we revisited beautiful Bath.
Unfortunately, we couldn’t find the gorgeous Royal Crescent, that row of 30 terraced houses laid out in a sweeping crescent.
We’ll have to look harder next time we visit.
