Driving from Spain to France, this was our (the dog and I) last stop and farewell to Spain, not far from the border in a beautiful place called Villanúa in Aragon. It is along the route of the Camino de Santiago and as I passed in the car I just had to turn round and go back for a better look. At the foot of the Pyrenees by now the air was colder but the sky was blue and it was breathtaking. If I ever drive back to Spain I'll be sure to put it on the list 😍

Missing Italy 🇮🇹 I went to Amalfi and all I got was an umbrella and a raincoat. When I left Sorrento in shorts and a t-shirt, it was sunny and warm. When I arrived in Amalfi it was raining so hard for about an hour that the streets were flooding and there was nothing to do apart from take shelter and wait for it to pass. When it stopped raining, the sun came out, the sky went back to blue and it was glorious. This was taken from the top of the steps outside Amalfi cathedral.

This island is so small you can walk around it in one day. One or two nights are sufficient, or do it in a day trip from Ischia or Naples. Procida is full of steps and hills but is awash with colour, along with breathtaking beauty and views that are well worth the climbs 💛

Proof that nature does not need humans to blossom 🏵 I never get tired of seeing blossom against a background of blue sky. It's one of the prettiest sights in the world 💕

With humans in lockdown the planet can do some healing 😍

As the lockdown to stop the spread of coronavirus in India continues, pollution levels across much of the country have dropped sharply. Now some residents in northern India say they can see the snow-capped Himalayas 200 kilometres away for the first time in 30 years.

This view is about 10 seconds walk from my front door. At times like this when it is easy to worry or panic and feel anxious about the future, we have to try and remember the positives and take the time a lot of us now find ourselves with to appreciate what is around us. I probably take this view for granted, and I shouldn't. I hope this time we are all experiencing at the moment stays with everyone, even when it is over, in that we should remember to appreciate what is too easily overlooked and taken for granted.

Throwback to Ischia. My healing trip after losing my Dad. I loved how the shops over there made such a huge effort with their displays. Così bello!!

It's nice to be able to look to the stars sometimes to give you an idea of which exotic destinations you might be travelling to next 🌟🌟🌟
