Yes Zagreb is the capital of Croatia

Can’t get my head around how heavy all that must be, and seemingly anchored on struts to the walls

I would think they probably were. Most people were church goers back in the day. It’s a lovely city, we’ve had a great time here, the trams are amazing!

Yes 1890’s towers, but still remarkable. Shame you can’t go inside. I’m not a religious person but the fabric, engineering and workmanship of churches fascinates me.

Just finished reading The Children’s Book by A.S. Byatt. Perfect for the start of a long across Europe train trip. Very enjoyable

Fab! I’ve read a few of his books and liked them a lot

Christine @nosugartea.bsky.social · 1d

Takes a fair amount of cleaning tho!

Very nice! We’ve got a Di Longhi bean to cup which husband uses all the time. someone’s just bought him some single estate posh beans for his birthday which he’s looking forward to trying. Happy experimenting!

What a feat of engineering that scaffold is on Zagreb cathedral. Shame it’s closed for visitors but scaffolding is something to see

Yes exactly that’s happened! We are on the same train we would’ve been on 😂

Christine @nosugartea.bsky.social · 2d

Wonderful 🥰 (meantime we’ve just been informed of works on the line and an hours bus replacement trip 🙄)

Christine @nosugartea.bsky.social · 2d

Thanks! And thanks for your help with the Interrail info in the beginning, meant a lot x

Yes brilliant! On our way to Zagreb now via Villach

@googlyeyecat.bsky.social we made it 😂

Annie Hall was a classic. Saw it on release and fell in love with her. She was a delight in that film, great in other stuff too particularly Michael’s wife Kay in the Godfather

Pathetic

Oh yeah I didn’t notice that. I just used Sainsbury’s milk chocolate and did a drizzle of white chocolate on the top to spruce it up a bit!

I just use the Nigella one www.nigella.com/recipes/rock... and sling anything I’ve got into it - raisins, dried cranberries, marshmallows, Crunchies. Nice with nuts but not if it’s needed in a nut free sale. It’s more crunchy using Rich Tea bics than digestives.

If ever there were questions raised about the need for Rich Tea biscuits, then Rocky Road would be all the answer required. A doddle to make, and easily transportable, a batch of these has saved me o...

Rocky Road if you don’t have much time. Always sells out at our events!

Wow that’s depressing 😔

I bet she treasured that too! 🥰 my mum and me lived with my nan (her mother in law) while my dad was doing his national service. My mum didn’t get on well with her own mum but her mother in law was the world to her.

It did Bert. My Nan left school at 14 but she loved reading, she was a massive influence on me 🥰
