The view from my "office"

Rila Monastery, Bulgaria, deep in the mountains. Dating from the 14th century ( frescoes shown here are much later)

Some better photos from the Cotswolds (my wife is a far better photographer than me). First is our accommodation. The window above the flag was ours. We had English (champagne-style) sparkling, croquet, cheese, and sun. Reminds us of the need to visit the northern hemisphere each July.
The stone toadstall that you see is a house footing from Roman times (to keep the vermin out of the house). They have been appropriated as garden decorations.IMG_3685.JPG

We had an amazing drive from Broadway in the Cotswolds, through Shropshire, then through Snowdownia to Conwy, Wales (very much worth a visit). Sorry, photos were a bit ordinary.
We then went on to the Lakes District where my wife took this photo of some massive hydrogen fiery orb in the sky.IMG_3697.JPG
 
After dinner at the hotel, I wandered down to the malecon (the road/promenade around the bay). It’s closed to traffic on Saturday night for pop-up food stalls and free entertainment. I got into the mosh-pit :cool: :cool::D.

A more cheerful, grooving crowd I have rarely seen. These Cubanos love their music.
