@Kate – I don’t know if my life is that exciting, but I try to get the most out of it. I think the thing is to keep your eyes open. And your mind :)

@Jill: Thank you! I love the 2 people on the grass picture, 2 small people under a big blue sky.

@Jaci: Glad to hear you enjoy reading it :)

@Winter solstice: Towers are very difficult for me to overcome. Especially the one you describe with a spiral staircase. I have tried the Monument tower in London, without success, my legs turned into jelly. And I have several times tried to climb one of my favourite lighthouses in Denmark (on the island Bornholm) but simply had to turn back too. It is a weird fear to have, and very annoying sometimes.

I admire the way you coped with a fear of heights to see such a wonderful view. I had a similar experience in a different context. The Lighthouse (a centre for architecture and design in Glasgow) contains the Mackintosh Tower which has the most breathtaking views of the city over its rooftops. To get to the view you have to climb a spiral staircase that seems to reach up to the heavens. I am terrified of heights, but on this one occasion I managed it, focussing only on the view that awaited me.

It’s been a long day, and I honestly can say that reading your blog after getting home from work is the refreshing bit that I need. Thanks for relaying your adventures, Ingrid!
