The beach looks idyllic, and the castle - well I rather like the idea of getting married in the ruins of a castle (not that I'll be getting married again - a vow renewal perhaps?)<br />The shell house is amazing. I really do forget that we have so much to do and see here - why do foreign shores always seems more interesting than our own?HazelxJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438389465030714608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833738977646898455.post-86669246376334020212017-07-26T19:37:32.059+02:002017-07-26T19:37:32.059+02:00I guess I'll need to wear those trousers more,...I guess I'll need to wear those trousers more, but I do so love wearing my frocks!
