Hello Diane, you snuck on as I was typing

We would certainly be visiting Manchester as we want to see the place where my OH's parents are buried and also visit the crematorium where my mum's ashes were spread, so not that far from Liverpool

That sounds like a lovely trip you are planning, Allan. You must be looking forward to it.

I do all my travelling by armchair these days. I would love to see Canada, but I would be cold in summer there - much nicer to look at it in comfort! Can't walk around any more, anyway!

The world is shrinking, so in about ten years, Australia will be down by the Isle of Wight.......we can all go then.

Pat, not that far. On my globe it is about four inches away:0))

People said that when we moved to Leonora...."ooh it doesn't look far from Perth" yeah, right, just about 1000 kms!

Pat,
That's somewhere else I haven't been, though sailed past it for years,
I have a cousin lives there, and I believe it's very nice.

Isn't it the Isle of Wight where they have the different coloured sands? If it is - then, I've been there! I had a bottle in the shape of a little man and it was filled with all of these different coloured sands. Kept it for years - until someone knocked it onto the floor!

Hi Diane,
We were talking about the lottery winners at work. It's a bit scary suddnely having 6 million.

Pat,

I'll risk being frightened!

A few hundred thousand would be nice!

Berona,
The coloured sands come from Alum bay.
It's a popular place.
