Seeing the snow in Sunbury recently reminded me of the travels many years ago as we took the Bernina Express from the shores of Lake Como Italy, up into the Alps and over some of Europe's most beautiful scenery towards St Moritz and Zurich.
​A one day journey to be recommended when travel resumes.

In these unprecedented times it should not be surprising when something unusual happens like it did this week in Sunbury.  In fact I could reflect that, given we cannot travel to our favourite places, it is nice to think that Victorian snowfields or perhaps Antarctic conditions have been brought to us.

The lockdown battle seems just a bit more difficult when we look outside at grey skies, wind and rain.  Luckily we have not had much bad winter weather yet but then is almost as assured as another few hundred COVID case each day.
So I have chosen our memories of a couple of weeks in Fiji in 2016 when we visited Steph who was assisting in the recovery effort after cyclone Winston.  Fiji is a lovely place with beautiful welcoming people and our visit was memorable despite the evidence of the struggle that these gentle people are still facing after such a devastating weather event.
I hope you enjoy the memories.
