This isn't really a " what I'm doing now ", it's more a " what I was doing then " or a " I wish I was still doing that " type of Gallery entry today. This time last week I was on a short break in Tunisia with my husband. It is only the second time we've been away on our own in our 24 years of being together. Whilst we were away, we celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary with very little pomp and ceremony. We did absolutely nothing whilst we were away; we never left the hotel, we sunbathed, we swam in the sea, we didn't get drink copious amounts of alcohol, we allowed ourselves half an hour a day to catch up on British news and Facebook alerts on our tablets using the fairly erratic hotel wi-fi connection (hence where I saw the Gallery prompt) and just properly chilled out. Here's more of what we did (and didn't) do... We also watched the sun set... ...and watched it rise again.  A lot! And...

I caught an article recently which showcased a style of photography that has been dubbed " Planescape " - taking a picture of the scenery from the window of an aeroplane * be still my geeky heart *.   This is something that I've already attempted and whilst they are not the clearest of photographs (taken on either a mobile phone or a cheap digital camera) they represent a glimpse of our world that not many people have the chance to see. Here are my favourite four: Portugal - taken in March 2009 Spain - taken in July 2010 The French (top right) and English (bottom left) coastlines - taken in July 2011 London - taken in July 2011 Tunisia - taken in July 2014 Sardinia - July 2014 Corsica - July 2014 England - August 2014 (flying over Folkstone looking over the  Dungeness National Nature Reserve) You can see a few more (original) pictures in my Facebook album .
