The Maldon Hunt
January 1, 2019 in England ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C
Watching the New Year's Day Maldon Hunt.
Fantastic to watch and no fox meant no protesters (either that or the protesters had overdone the lentil soup on New Year's Eve and couldn't get out of bed).

The Colosseum

This place is 2773 years old but partially rebuilt in the 1800s. As you can tell from the age it is only slightly older than some of our family members although we can't make them fight with swordsRead more

Went for a gondola ride - really peaceful just drifting around the canals and because it is winter there are not too many people around so the canals weren't like rush hour on the Southern Motorway.
