wishful thinking..

I’d like to visit the pyramids of Egypt,
I’d like to go to Niagara Falls,
I’d like to sip champagne in a gondola,
And I’d like to visit The Wailing Wall;
I’d like to visit The Grand Canyon,
I’d like to visit Athens and Rome,
I’d like to see lots of shows on Broadway,
And visit the Millenium Dome,
I’d like to go walking in Austria,
Visit New England in The Fall,
Go on safari to Kenya,
And go to the Ritz when theres a ball,
Instead,I’m stuck in a small flat,
The rain beats on the window pane,
My mind wanders off again,
And I imagine myself on a beach in Spain.

Thats a long wish list joanella, and beautifully put. You can always dream, but it is amazing how many wonderful places there are to visit in the UK, with amazing scenery too. But what with your allotments and everything I doubt you'd have time anyway!

I`ve been to Niagara and the view is breathtaking Joan, I will never forget it ever. However, as it has been said, we live in such a beautiful country and I for one think there is nowhere like it. I just wish we had more sunshine for longer though! :o)
