Summer – The Traveller's Typewriter

Neighbours

What a start it’s been to life in Hungary. A walk in the city reveals many hidden things: like this view of a dated inner city courtyard. Days have consisted of: Seeing family. Going shopping and finding out where to find the best deals in town are (like TESCO Extra out on Rókusi körút hereContinue reading “Neighbours”

Arrival

With all moves–especially moves abroad–comes change. A little dessert helps to smooth things out!

Begin Again

Over the past months we have been waiting—and oh, so much has happened . . . Tomorrow we are attempting to travel again. Stay tuned for updates to follow. Hungary, here we come!

Summer.

It is interesting these days when you hear ‘the last days of summer’. It is ending isn’t it? All those warm nights, the sounds of chirping crickets. It is all coming to an end. Especially the stars.

I have been enjoying languages in the car lately. Let me explain. German, Italian, French. In the time that it takes to get to the workplaceContinue reading “Just have to.”

And if you didn’t know it was summer before, by the time it’s August there is no doubt. Something that we’ve been enjoying has been theContinue reading “Warmer evenings.”

A follow up visit.

Already time for another post. Missed one yesterday. This blog is for my benefit; not yours. Why publish it online? Why go digital instead of pen and pad? Times have changed. I suppose I have to change too. What I hope to accomplish is to develop the habit of writing continually. By doing so IContinue reading “A follow up visit.”
