British Guild of Travel Writers member, Nicky Gardner, is presently researching and writing about Europe's slowest express train, hints of Arabia and the East in the architecture of Venice, and the life and work of Thomas Hanbury (who founded the famous gardens at La Mortola in Italy). Just back from exploring the Bernese Oberland, Liguria and Alpes-Maritime. Upcoming journeys to Liechtenstein, Schengen (yes, there really is a place called Schengen), the Faroe Islands and Iceland (by boat). Lots more quirkly diversions in the pipeline. If you'd like Nicky to pen some sparkling prose, contact her via the hidden europe website (www.hiddeneurope.co.uk) which has telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and even a 'send message' facility that actually works.

“On good days, Sylt is a lithesome figure that dances on the edge of the North Sea. A sort of nymph that guards access to Jutland behind. On dull days, Sylt just lies sullen, shrouded by charcoal cloud, and the lazy waves leave their murky flotsam on the beach. But it is on wild days that Sylt really comes alive in its watery solitude. The winter storms often bring a taste of sorrow.”
By Nicky Gardner, writing about the north Frisian island of Sylt in the March 2008 issue of hidden europe magazine (page 27). Courtesy of hidden europe magazine (www.hiddeneurope.co.uk). |
