ReplyDeleteLots of levels in the photo. Is that a eucalyptus tree on the left?
ReplyDeleteActually, yes, Sally, my muse completely took over there for a couple of days...you know how it is I'm sure, LOL!
ReplyDeleteJust adored your picture of the spices at the markets...what a great prompt for our olfactory memory...yes, it certainly did it for me, too. I went 'back' to the Arab quarter in Jerusalem actually.
And I realise I didn't post a comment about the old Ramsgate baths...will go back and do that...I have LOTS of memories!
