Daffodils and Gérardmer in the Vosges
When daffodils are blooming, we feel spring has arrived. Their yellow colour is so bright that you can't miss them when walking around. Here, not far from Nancy, we find them in or near the woods, in clearings. In the Vosges you can discover them in meadows....

St Mary in the Marsh and the Star Inn
In memory of Andy, the cool man, who knew the Star Inn. As we arrived early in Dover, we had time to stop in Kent on our way to Sussex. So we first admired the Channel from St Mary's Bay, then we drove to St Mary in the Marsh in Kent. I noticed the name...
