    Brilliant pics MWC - thanks for sharing. Definitely getting a tour of Vietnam vicariously :D I'd be hopeless on a cycling tour - stopping too often to take pics, I managed 139 through a wood today!

    Lovely pics - loved the ferry with all the bikes :T. And the window one - gorgeous pic :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Absolutely lovely, MWC :) those market photos are wonderful. Well, they're all wonderful, but the market photos, you can see that the veg. aren't from some wholesaler - they're from their own market garden, as much as they've got ready. Brilliant :)

    We pootled around town this afternoon in the sunshine and my dad treated us to a coffee in the bookshop :) Whilst there I was looking at the food p@rn and decided to treat myself to a new cookbook - unknowingly I've ended up with a real bargain... the new Anna Barnett (The Reluctant Vegetarian) book not due to be released until 7 May for the bargainous price of £7.99 (£17.09 pre-order price on Amaz@n) :T:T:T
