Week 15 – yeh I know from ages ago but I kept putting this one off.  I am not a big fan of travelling and now when we do go anywhere we take sooooo much stuff!!  The image on my background page is from a card Harry gave me a short while back and I love it.  Thank goodness for estate cars with top-boxes is all I can say.  For ukstamper’s week 15 challenge we had to include:

•  travel – love it or hate it?
• where are the best and worst places you have travelled?
• use an old map on your background

We tend to just travel around Britain and we haven’t really been to any bad places but a few of our favourite places include Aviemore, Cornwall and Wales.  I love woodlands and forested places whereas Harry likes open rolling fields. Whenever we do go out and about we have to plan out route carefully for good accessible toilets for me and plenty of nice places for our dog to stretch his legs.  The map is a scan from an old Roadfinder atlas.  I tore it in strips before pasting to the background then sprayed the whole lot.  To make it a bit more visible I outlined it roughly with a pink pen then white dots.
You can’t tell from the main photo but you might be able to see in the closer shot that there is a nice shimmer on the background.
