Apart from a fleeting glance while traveling on the motorway, this was the first view I had of the walled city of Carcassonne. It was presented to me through the window of my hotel room. How lucky can a girl get

Late last night I returned from a few days away in Carcassonne. I was treated to lovely warm and mostly sunny weather unlike the weather in England when I left.

On arrival in London there was a short detour to check out the Bank of England before [...]
