We've been lucky enough to have had six holidays over the last year (of which, I would point out, several were what might be termed "long weekends") and the photos from these remained uncatalogued prior to today but we're now down to just two...
We may well take far too many photos but, generally, after a week long holiday, we'll often return with up to ten spools of photos, almost 400 shots, of which perhaps 50-60 will make it to the albums. That's why our photo albums are so good, if I do say so myself. Quality control.
So, lovely, colourful photos for the following have been added to our vast collection of photo albums which stretch back to the 1970s:-
Foix, the French Alps, Andorra and Girona (Sept 04)
Amsterdam (Oct 04)
Barcelona (Dec 04/Jan 05)
Nerja and Southern Spain (Mar 05)
Still to be sorted:-
The Mosel Valley (Jun 05)
Austrian Lakes and Mountains (Sept 05)
I've added a few from the trip to Nerja to the journal entries back in March - there're more to come and I will try and do the same for The Mosel once they're sorted out...(note that those included in the journal are there to illustrate the entries, they may not necessarily be good enough for the final albums...)
Other than that, we didn't do anything today...in fact I only ventured out of the house once because Anne had a hankering for some Fry's Chocolate Cream...
This is a particular type of chocolate bar we have in the UK.
On researching it for this entry (hmm, nothing to do today by any chance?), I got this piece from the Cadbury's website...
"In 1853 Fry's introduced a really new product - chocolate-covered cream sticks, the first chocolate confectionery ever to be made on a factory scale.
In 1866 the Cream Sticks became Cream Bars: the mould designed by Francis Fry in 1875 is the same today, and the recipe of the Famous Original remains a secret")
So now you know...
...and of course I bought our lottery ticket - one number came up (which, believe me, is better than usual)...
Hearts maintained their unbeaten run at the top of the league with a 1-0 away win at Inverness whilst QoS got their 2nd point of the season (2 points from six games) with a 0-0 away draw at local rivals Stranraer. QoS have only scored one goal so far in the league this season.
Surely it can only get better?

A concise comment Nicholas. Fry's Chocolate Cream is distinctly British. Nothing tastes like Cadbury's chocolate however....which I urge you to try if you get the chance.
My personal favourite remains Nestle chocolate with Cadbury a close second (notwithstanding the former's less than white reputation in the overall scheme of things...)
Yowsa cioccolatta!!!
