    WFH is good.

    I'm going somewhere random in Great Britain. Where? Don't know.

    all we have at the moment is Mrs Benes and my good self going to a very quiet island which people who don't know how to behave on holiday haven't heard of and wouldn't be able to get and wouldn't even like anyway in the HR adriatic for a relaxing week

    Milan.

    So, we're not going anywhere. Maybe a week at the end of July.

    I love Seville, one of my favourite cities. I assume you're doing all the good stuff like the Real Alcazar?

    While you're in the Cadiz area, the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art (aka the Spanish Riding School, with the Lippizaners) is just up the road in Jerez. You can go and see the nags in their stables & paddocks and, depending on the time of year (they go to Vienna during the winter months) you may also be able to see a show. You have to book in advance though. Thoroughly recommended, if you enjoy watching horses prancing about.

    depends how west you are, can you see the bridge from your place ?

    Milan.
    Which bridge? If you mean the Tamar Bridge, that people willingly pay to use just to get out of Cornwall, no, I can't see that. If you mean the Clifton Suspension Bridge, no I can't see that one either. Neither can I see the Millau Viaduct nor the Öresund Bridge (as featured in Broen).
