The Places We’ve Been

We aren’t big on travel, so being cooped up is a little easier for us, though we really miss our on a whim and planned car rides. Having a daily blog can be a bit more difficult when the subject matter is confined to small spaces. We haven’t been outdoors for over five weeks - our only trips these days are to pick up groceries at the front desk in the lobby and midnight runs to pick up mail. Luckily for us, all other packages are delivered to the door. I really miss spring in DC, but can’t do much about that. The US botanic garden puts some videos on Instagram. Relatively speaking we have nothing to complain about - it just gets a little discouraging now and again. So every once in a while I’ll pick out an image from a trip we took years ago. We never traveled overseas for the heck of it - we always had someone to greet us in the other side. Our nieces in Denmark and Sweden, and friends in England. I hate flying, but at least once we arrived, we were in good hands. So the photos bring back lovely memories and I can’t believe we were actually there. So far I’ve posted gardens, ships, and signs from Denmark; interesting Swedish architecture; and Jane Austen’s house in Chawton and Highclere Castle of Downton Abbey Fame. I’m not sure if and when we will ever go to any of these places again. Before, we didn’t want to. Now, we can’t. That makes a big difference.
