The Past



The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there.

ABC Wednesday - D



ABC Wednesday - D for Danube


Boats push their way against the current of the river Danube between the ancient cities of Buda and Pest.

Quite an elegant city - once part of the famous Austria-Hungarian Empire - Budapest is now the capital city of Hungary.

ABC Wednesday - B for Budapest


Just back from two weeks in Spain and have missed my Blogging - there's two B's !!


This picture is taken in Budapest Hungary and shows the memorial to those killed in the 1956 Hungarian Rising whilst fighting against the communist regime and the Soviet invasion forces.

I remember this time well - hearing the radio news and seeing the pictures in the local newspaper - I was about 8 or 9 years old and did not really understand  what was happening  ..


Glad to be be back to ABC Wednesday ....... !!

Penguins - move your cursor and take them for a walk !!

Say it as it is ......


Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you'll land amongst the stars.

Look around !!!

What is this life, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare?
