Just wondering if you can remember if you were standing a bit for these tours. I can walk without any issues but standing still for more than a few minutes is a real issue.

There is a bit of standing involved but the areas are big that could allow you to keep moving ?

So there’s been a bit of a gap because I’ve been very busy.

I’ve been in Cornwall for a week and it was busy getting set up at work and the cottage where I am staying has no phone reception inside and the Wi-Fi was down for five days and I was just about to find somewhere else to live.

My personal laptop would not connect the Wi-Fi anywhere so I decided to reset the settings and I think I have now completely screwed it because now there’s no option to connect to any Wi-Fi. I think I’m going to have to find a friendly IT person to see if they can work it out.At least I have a work laptop but I don’t like using that unless I absolutely have to.

So there’s going to be a delay posting photos from the places that have already been because I can’t download all my photos and I prefer to do it on my computer rather than my phone.

Today I went to a farmers market which was all a bit hippyish but I did buy some gin if you check the gin thread

Lovely views across the valley and down to the river at Falmouth

Apart from one day of rain this week and it was only for a few hours, the weather has just been glorious with blue skies mainly and around 14°. I did go for a walk after work the other night and the temperature was 12 and felt like 3 according to the forecast and I can guarantee that it did indeed feel like 3°.

Today I visited a national trust property Trelissick | Cornwall

Some of the azaleas were just stunning and the magnolia and Rhododendrons are starting to look spectacular

The house had a small tea room in it and they had converted a couple of the rooms into eating areas.

Sitting in those comfy armchairs looking out at the view was quite spectacular.

Possibly

I should write a TR on my next trip in 9 days time. Madrid, Rome and surrounding area with a visit to the British Embassy gardens, Madrid again, perhaps some day trips around, (I would like to go to Segovia), then west of Frankfurt (Bingen), Stuttgart, Obersdorf, Stuttgart and home. QF, EK, and IB with some DB.

The Titanic Museum is one of my Top 10 best places to visit.

Before I went if someone told me I would declare that in future I would have laughed.

Not just the historical aspects but the incredible architectural features of things like outdoor seats looking like …. Well outdoor seats. However, looking down on them from the upper levels of the building the length of each corresponds to Morse code of the distress signals… garden beds of various dimensions have meaning. Tiles outside the building seen from above are the countries the shipping line travelled.

I spent a whole day there amazed (tour guide a must).

I also like their strong message against the carpetbaggers still trying to grift from the tragedy and strong opposition to artefact hunting.
The modern day footage is located (not surprisingly in the bowels of the building).

Yes. I wished my tour of the Titanic Exhibit was far longer. Do not rush through it.
