We’ve been daydreaming about extended travel to places like India or Vietnam or the Philippines. We’ve talked about wintering in Italy or Portugal or Albania. So far though, it’s all talk. In the meantime, summer is drawing to a close and autumn is in the air.
Do you have plans?
If you can’t make up your mind where do go, check some of my posts for inspiration. We’re just back from a visit to Normandy, Brittany, and the lovely and much underrated Nantes. We’re popping next door into Croatia later this month. And Sardinia is sticking its head over the parapet.
Life is short. Make the most of it.

Josselin, France
Let’s have lunch in Josselin, our host suggested. Grand, we said, having never heard of the place.
