Quiet day. Noisy night. Now know a little about Eurovision and that’s enough. Fun party though.
Traveleri have been missing in action for a week, a heavy cold, but have just spent some lovely time catching up with your last few days. Gorgeous countryside you've been through, punctuated i see by stunning food. Now, about Eurovision....did no-one vote for Great Britain because no european wanted to vote for a country that doesnt want to be in Europe, or was it just a crap song?
