Well, you may now assemble the welcome committee, as I have returned from my holiday! Please don’t go to any trouble. A steel band would be a trifle excessive, although a trumpet fanfare might be nice. Seriously, we had a...

41Combedale @Vivenda pronunciation for a start! If you have A level Ancient Greek then modern Greek is going to be a doddle for you.

Anna @Vivenda I loved this place, it's just to be in the Caribbean, but you are in the United States and you can quit the place using a car, it's not necessary to have a boat or to board an airplane.

One of the delights of being in Las Vegas is to see the dancing water fountains at the Bellagio Hotel. They play gorgeous music over the loudspeakers and the fountains move along with the beat of the music. On a beautiful, warm...

Deborah-Diane @Vivenda - Yes, Epcot is a fascinating place to visit. Since we live so near Disneyland (about 1/2 an hour drive), we have only been to Disneyworld once. I think it was in about 1987.

Whenever I see ''How fun'' or ''Very fun'' written on here I know that an American is the author. We Brits would say ''What fun'' or ''Such fun''. There are so many differences between the way the Americans use the English...

Jabo @Vivenda Lol - the Americans are often somewhat coy in calling a spade a spade, or in the case you are talking about, a toilet.

Above is a photo of my parents on their wedding day. They are the couple in the middle. They only vaguely remember the other couple in the photo, even though they were their best man and maid of honor. However, they lost touch...

Deborah-Diane @Vivenda - It must have been hard on your mother to be widowed relatively young. My parents were married after WW2, but before the Korean War. My Dad joined the Navy in his teens, but no war was going on at the time.

My case is on my bed. It's full to busting, but not fully expanded. I could still fit things in, although I don't think the airline weight limit would encourage it. Shall I lock it? What have I forgotten? Toothpaste,...

Norway is a beautiful country, and a wonderful way to see it is by cruising along the fjords. A couple of years ago my husband and I, together with our son and his wife, did just that. I've used several of the photos on my posts...

Jabo @Vivenda We visited both those places you mention - they have a marvellous fish market in Bergen. We were there in July, and as you say there's not much darkness. The photo of the clouds in the slideshow was taken at about 11pm.

Border Collies are the workaholics of Dogdom. They are always badgering their owners for entertainment or, even better, some work to do. One of my colleagues when I was working for a pet publishing company had four Working...

I suppose so and she belongs to my daughter. She is a Chihuahua-Papillion mix and we finally met her last weekend. She weighs two+ pounds and may get to four. While she is not the dog I would have chosen, my daughter thinks she is...

Judy Evans @Vivenda Definitely! I hate to see Border Collies on leads in suburbia or cities. I'm sure some must be dying slowly of frustration.
