Croatia is a beautiful country and the best way to see it is by sea, so I hope Goran and the storm don't put you off visiting it one day.<br /><br />Thanks, Mum, for commenting too. as I wrote this I remembered your recent experience with serious walkers and would love to hear you blog about your and Kit's comic day out. The best thing to say to the walk-till-you-die-with-blood-in-your-boots brigade is 'you go on ahead and put the kettle on/open the bottle'.Thomas Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12987047131104943571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8981609828734332286.post-73615274658945129342009-09-17T16:28:33.596+01:002009-09-17T16:28:33.596+01:00Save me from serious walkers! hiking boots, thick...Save me from serious walkers! hiking boots, thick socks and a map on a noose round the neck, and if you are really unlucky, Janet Street-Porter at the head!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8981609828734332286.post-71228956161692011262009-09-17T10:21:39.984+01:002009-09-17T10:21:39.984+01:00Your last paragraph creased me!

I'd love to eat my picnic beneath that tree, then walk up the narrow street between those houses to the courtyard I imagine is hiding behind. I think I'd skip the boat altogether though! You have sketchbooks full of great stories by the sounds of it.Rachel Fentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10046917627054462214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8981609828734332286.post-89572732340801208032009-09-16T23:14:08.569+01:002009-09-16T23:14:08.569+01:00What a beautiful tale!
