dustydingo Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Really? I just sent you a PM to test the system. replying to existing msg okay, but starting a whole new one, kaput. Back to favourite places . . . sitting on the cliffs of Santorini, watching the sun set over the caldera, Kitaro's "Silk Road" playing in the background, sipping cold Retsina, nibbling warm unsalted pistachios . . . sigh . . . dd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Price Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Hi Ed, Like you I love Oxfordshire, especially in the summer. Spent almost four years living in a small town called Charlbury and loved every minute of it. Also love Jasper National Park in Canada and Provence in France.

Allan Bell Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I spent some time in the Doldrums and have no wish to go back there. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Price Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 A little auberge in Lagnes, very lovely place and when we left after our week stay in Lagnes the chef/owner rushed out to say goodbye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lensandbrushes Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I have lived in a few places and visited a few more, but the home of my heart is always England's Lake District. Been visiting since 1976, walked most of the hills around Keswick and Borrowdale (and have plans to walk a lot more). I usually manage to get there once a year, and while I love most of England, this little corner draws me back every time. Louise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Thank you for the post on FAA, Louise. That picture of The Freedom Tower failed Alamy QC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I love the Cote D'Azur, mainly around Antibes which is where we like to stay. Great food, the weather is pretty good for most of year and more culture than you can throw a stick at. There a great English bookshop down near the market (Antibes is very cosmopolitan due to the boats crews) who can tell you the best local places to eat. Other than in Tours, I don't think I've ever had a bad meal in France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise I spent many summers camping at Braithwaite village and walked all around there. This was when I was a lot younger (1950 - 60's) and the roads were all still just country lanes.

Gruffydd Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I lived in Zambia when I was a VSO, and then as a teacher, in the 90s, which was fabulous. My first house was just a couple of miles from Victoria Falls. When I went back a couple of years ago I found the country has changed quite a lot but the people are just as warm and friendly. The vast expanse of the Kafue National Park is the place for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
