Read MoreThe wonderful Cité du vin, in Bordeaux
I had a wonderful time on my recent trip to Bordeaux, France. There was so much to enjoy about this city, but one can’t visit Bordeaux without learning about one of its most important industries – fine wines.

Read MoreZurich’s beautiful Christmas markets
Last December, my husband and I visited Zurich, Switzerland. It was early December, and the Christmas markets had just been set up. I adore the Christmas markets of northern Europe.

Last December, my husband and I were staying in Zurich, Swizerland, and decided to take the train for a daytrip to Switzerland’s capital, Bern. Although I’ve travelled a fair about in Switzerland, it was my first visit in its capital, and we enjoyed out day exploring picturesque Bern. I’ve already written about the fabulous views…
Read MoreRecycle! What authors can learn from artists
Last weekend, I was in the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux, France. It was a small but interesting collection, with a few artworks by Eugène Delacroix (1798-1863) I’d only seen in textbooks, but never in person. The most well known in the collection was La Grèce sur les ruines de Missolonghi (1826), depicting the attempted…
