This blog hasn't been high on my list of priorities lately.
Some of you know that I've recently bought a small condominium instead of continuing to rent an apartment, and others of you know that I recently took a two week trip to the UK. Between traveling, packing. planning, keeping up a bit with a few small art projects and doing some kidsitting with my grandchildren, there just hasn't been time to post.
I did take LOTS of photos in the UK, and am going to throw a few of my favorite ones at you here!!
If you want to see any of them larger, please just remember to click on the image ;-0

| Who would think in the middle of Bath, in a crack between ancient cobbles there would be a tiny, hot pink Mickey Mouse head sequin - is there no escape????? |

| Being an early morning tea drinker, i was thrilled to find these kinds of tea services wherever I stayed. The electric kettles heat up super fast and really heat the water, real milk comes in the little blue-topped containers, and there were usually biscuits (cookies) too! |

| Can you believe I rented a car and drove on the "wrong" side of the road for 11 days!!! As you can see, thew steering wheel is on the "wrong" side of the car, too, but it really wasn't too difficult to master a new skill. Did get beeped at a few times and the occasional irritated look. the roundabouts are the worst, but overall, UK drivers are much more polite and patient than we are!! ;-0 |

| Probably should have a separate post just for all the wonderful churches I saw, but this country steeple really caught my eye, so am including it here. |

| My first real pub!!!!!!! Had a tasty sandwich and a half of the local ale - delish!! |

This very clever hand washing device was at a local parking spot in Port Isaac, Cornwall, UK.
It is soap, water and an air drier all in one. |
What a wonderful trip you had! Victoria Station certainly has some tangle-worthy designs in it's architecture, doesn't it? Thank you for sharing the photos and memories.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful trip you had! Thanks for sharing the pictures. It is always fun to go, but great to return home, too. . .
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got to Bath, it's so beautiful and historically interesting. Sorry to have missed you on your UK trip, but sounds like you had a great time. Well done for driving 'on the wrong side of the road', you're braver than me!
ReplyDeleteBet it's good to be back in your own bed again, eh?

It looks like you had a wonderful time - welcome home!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see snapshots of your UK journeys, and it's interesting to see what struck you particularly as different here. Recognized your large car too! Hope the packing is going well, the moving date must be coming up soon.
