<p>For this week&#8217;s Squidoo Rocket Moms lens we have to write about a place we&#8217;ve visited.</p>
<p>This is so hard. My thoughts are whirling. Should I write about St Maartens, a Caribbean island I visited briefly but loved?</p>
<p>Maybe I should write something about Paris, France, a city I&#8217;ve often visited and one of my favourite places. I could write about the small French fishing town of Honfleur in Normandy, another place I&#8217;ve visited several times because it&#8217;s a favourite.</p>
<p><span id="more-302"></span>Instead of writing about somewhere in another country, I could write about the county where I live, Wiltshire, or somewhere in London where I lived for about 20 years. I&#8217;ve already written about Wiltshire&#8217;s Stonehenge and associated sites so that&#8217;s out. I&#8217;ve also written about the county&#8217;s best known city &#8211; Salisbury and its cathedral.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve written extensively about London too and many other places in England. I feel as if I&#8217;ve exhausted my interest in writing about places now. I want to get on with this lens but just can&#8217;t make up my mind what topic to choose. Sometimes having a wide choice of subject is much worse than having a very specific topic set for the challenge. At least I&#8217;d know what I had to do and I&#8217;d just apply my nose to the grindstone, do my research and get on with it.</p>
<p><strong>EDITED on Thursday, September 17th</strong></p>
<p>I made up my mind a couple of hours after I wrote this post. I finally chose to write about <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/kew-gardens-uk-world-heritage-site" target="_blank">Kew Gardens, UK &#8211; World Heritage Site</a>.  I really love Kew Gardens so it was quite easy once I started.</p>
