Special Places ...

I was just reading a book and it mentioned a place that I visited, which reminded me of another place close by that I found really magical.  

I thought we could share a bit of information about places we remember very fondly.  

Carcassonne ... a restored medieval city in France.  Absolutely stunning to look at ... although I haven't found a website that does it justice yet.  

What I heard when I went there was that as security improved in Europe, the old fortified castles weren't really necessary any more, so the castle had fallen into disrepair, and the locals had carried off the old stones to build their own houses.  Then, some bright spark had had the idea of rebuilding the fort, so everyone took back the old stones and they re-created the castle.  Inside, they built a themed tourist attraction with shops, bars and restaurants.

So, what are your favourite places?  It can be a castle, your home, your bathroom, an exotic location overseas, or one of the many beautiful places in Australia ... or anything 🙂

Hi Katy. I love spending summer at the caravan park in New Norfolk Tasmania. On the bank of the Derwent River. Beautiful place. Unfortunately not this year.

I'm also in love with Tassie.  Been there 3 times this year.

Can't get enough

I arrived there in January, Stawka ... didn't bring any "warm" clothes with me. Very lovely place ... just too cold.

My favourite place in Australia is Brisbane. Love it. Love the skyline, the river, the shops, the restaurants, the quirkiness. More tomorrow.
