Hello, I believe the movie schema now requires an associated image. How would this fit in the data above?

Re: SWEET SERENITY: Stonehenge {Feel the Sweet Serenity}

Fabulous! It is a long time since I visited Stonehenge although we drove past it in June. I would also like to visit over the summer solstice one day!

What a gorgeous post! I didn't mind the never-ending blog post at all and I loved catching up with you! Good luck with your Yoga Teaching Certification! That sounds brilliant! Let me know if you need any guinea pigs.

Re: Oh, the places we will go.: A Tale of Two Hotels

Mandy — Wed, 29 May 2013 11:38:26 -0000

The first hotel reminds me of the hotel we had in Santa Susanna - I spent many an afternoon soothing my sunburn in the spa bath. I think I would have liked the second hotel more though - sounds lovely and quirky!

I learned in Croatia that nothing leaves a worse taste in your mouth than paying too much for accommodation. Our apartment was not worth the money and I'm definitely going to be smarter when booking apartments in future. So, great advice here - my two most important points are wi-fi and location.

Re: Oh, the places we will go.: Ypres - a City of Peace

Mandy — Thu, 02 May 2013 17:08:47 -0000

I guess I just made it sound like Ypres is in France - I didn't mean to! It is just that our war time tour kind of turned into something else because everything was closed. We landed up turning around and going to Lille instead that day.

What a fantastic post! We didn't get to see enough when we visited the region (we learned the hard way that much of France is closed on Sundays) but I will definitely go back to Dunkirk and Ypres after reading this.

Re: Postcard from Ground Zero

I visited the WTC Visitor Centre in 2009 and the site was still a building site back then. I would love to return one day and see this new memorial. Your photos are great but I am with you on the weather - it needs to be a suitably sombre day.

Re: Oh, the places we will go.

Hope you're having a super time in Spain and yay! What gorgeous photos of the York Minster!

Re: Postcard from Elk Grove

Mandy — Sun, 10 Mar 2013 17:38:45 -0000

Wow, what a truly beautiful part of the world! I agree with you 100%. When I lived in South Africa, I certainly didn't appreciate the incredible natural beauty enough and promised that I would not make the same mistake when I moved to London. There is beauty everywhere if we just make sure to open our eyes.

Re: Oh, the places we will go.: Stalking the Locals in Salzburg

Mandy — Sun, 10 Mar 2013 17:33:21 -0000

I've just told Ste that we *have* to visit Salzburg, those views from the castle are indeed stunning. And I would have spent a long time playing with those marionettes.

Re: TimeOut London Wins “Ridiculous Sentence of the Day”

Mandy — Sat, 09 Feb 2013 09:39:22 -0000

Wow! An £11 drink? What the heck? Then again, I discovered that vodka, lime and lemonade tastes just as good without the vodka in (better in fact) and at no more than £1 a drink, I can afford to try a few!

Re: Postcard from the Brooklyn Bridge

Mandy — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 16:15:02 -0000

Wow, what gorgeous photos! My favourite one of yours has to be the third photo, with all of the wires. I loved the Dumbo area too.

My favourite photo of Brooklyn Bridge is the monochrome one Henri Silberman took with the Twin Towers in the background. I have a large print hanging in my lounge!

Re: Err, I Think the Buses are Laughing at Dalston

Mandy — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 16:11:10 -0000

I'll give it a go! I don't live anywhere near Dalston, but we landed up there one night and went to the Hidden Cave Garden & Bistro which was so good that we'd definitely drive out there again just for their pasta.

Re: Lost for Words to Describe East London? Look No Further!

Mandy — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 16:00:45 -0000

Ha ha, brilliant! I have to agree, I get a bit weary of the word "hipster" popping up in reference to Dalston and east London all the time, as if I can't possibly enjoy myself in a place if someone else in the neighbourhood is wearing skinny jeans.

Re: Lost and Found in London: That Time I Left My iPad on the Bus and Got it Back

Mandy — Sun, 18 Nov 2012 14:51:18 -0000

What a remarkable set of stories! I just love that your Oyster hero gave you a lanyard. That is just so... London. And yes, getting your iPad back is pretty lucky indeed. I am not quite sure why I never thought of activating iCloud before but I'm going to get right on that!

Re: My Entry For the 'Capture The Colour' Competition

Mandy — Tue, 17 Jul 2012 17:11:14 -0000

Nice selection of photos! So, I'm tagged then... Hmmm. I shall have to begin working on this. I actually have some Instagram photos already so I might just go back and visit those sites.

Re: Sir John Soane, Sleeping In St Pancras’ Gardens

Mandy — Sun, 15 Jul 2012 19:11:27 -0000

Another beautiful hidden gem. I love these photos!

At St George's Churchyard Gardens in Borough (just off Borough High Street), they have grave stone art made of the old, fallen grave stones. I thought it was rather hideous.

Re: Undiscovered London – East Ham Nature Reserve

Mandy — Sun, 15 Jul 2012 19:01:33 -0000

I love hidden little gems like this. Although, I am squeamish, I must say - of stepping on graves. I am always super careful at cemeteries not to walk over people's bodies.

Re: In Hungary – Debrecen

Mandy — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 19:00:22 -0000

It looks and sounds just gorgeous! I haven't been to Hungary yet so would probably start with the capital but will definitely keep this in mind for future trips.

By the way, I'm not sure if it is my PC / connection but I can't see your photos. I could see them in the gallery though and they're lovely.

Re: In Portugal - Belem

Mandy — Sat, 30 Jun 2012 18:21:53 -0000

Wow, that really is quite stunning. Sometimes it takes a while to take in such amazing ornamentations like that. I've heard of the White Tower of Belem before, it is nice to put it into context. I definitely think a trip to Lisbon (and surrounding areas) is on the cards for next year.

Re: In Portugal - Lisbon

Mandy — Sat, 30 Jun 2012 18:14:10 -0000

Fabulous piece of travel writing! I loved this post and could imagine myself relaxing in an open-air square under the stars while listening to some plinky plonky dance music. What you said about the graffiti pretty much sold me but I loved that ruined church!

Re: In Portugal - Lisbon Pride 2012

Mandy — Sat, 30 Jun 2012 18:04:10 -0000

Again, lovely photos! This must have been so much fun and I just love all of the colourful outfits and designs.

Re: Photo Essay: Colorful Streets of Stockholm

Mandy — Sat, 30 Jun 2012 16:52:08 -0000

What gorgeous photos! I have fallen increasingly in love with walking lately so the architecture and your description of the city as a walkable one means that Stockholm is definitely on my to-visit list now.

Re: Telephone Boxes Become Works of Art in London

Mandy — Sat, 23 Jun 2012 20:02:42 -0000

Aren't they beautiful? I have just seen the one in real life, outside of Charing Cross Station, but I hope to spot a couple more soon.
