Grover in Paris
As I reported recently, my usual travelling companion is jet setting without me. He reports from Paris that, being summer, the place is overrun with tourists which makes it tough for a little blue muppet. Not only that, the French, who abhor English, make no effort at all to comprehend a little blue muppet. He was pleased however to get to see the world’s largest Mecanno construction. He also wonders if the Poles will be more forthcoming.
Grover at the Rijksmuseum
We haven’t had a Grover picture for a while. Currently he is travelling around Europe without me. Recently he was at the refurbished Rijksmusem in Amsterdam. Grover was particularly taken by Rembrandt’s masterpiece the “The Night Watch” or more correctly, “The Shooting Company of Frans Banning Cocq”. One lady commented that it wasn’t nice to take a photo of a work of art with that thing. Grover didn’t think it was polite to call “The Night Watch” a “thing”.

A Therapeutic Photo
While my better half is visiting family in the warmth of the northern Summer, I am tempering my jealousy by remembering our trip early last year.

European Castles – A Selection
Some readers have wanted me to continue with my castle fascination. Below are a few photos I have taken in different parts of Europe. To us they may be quaint and beautiful in their own way but most have a history of bloodshed and intrigue.
Gavno Slot near Naestved, Denmark – started off as a pirate hideout.
- Fredericksten, Halden Norway – a reminder that Scandinavia was not always a place of liberalism and confraternity.
- Het Steen Antwerp
- Carcassonne, France – the site started life as a Roman fortress and later became a Cathar stronghold
Alcazar Toledo – Toledo was once a centre of Christian, Muslim and Jewish learning and cooperation
Castle at Peniscola Spain – used in the film El Cid, if you are old enough to remember!
Alhambra Granada – a Moorish stronghold
Real Alcazar Seville – a Spanish castle with a Moorish flavour
Rushing Waters – a Photo and Text for Sunday
Revelation 19:6-8
Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:
“Hallelujah!For our Lord God Almighty reigns.
Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory!
For the wedding of the Lamb has come,
and his bride has made herself ready.
Fine linen, bright and clean,was given her to wear.

Grover in Ostia Antica
I was looking for a photo and I came across one of my favourite Grover photos. Our blue travelling friend has a great sense of humour. He is itching for the next trip!
