Judy and Gary downsized to a darling house on a fairway. It really is not little – Ever-Lovin’ thought of the title for this blog. Humor him. Just look at this view from their back patio. Sweet Mother of Pearl. I do love, love, love the iron fence. Judy and Gary did so much to […]
Certainly one needs to have tea in England, but how was I to choose? There were so many choices. I had seen pictures of tea at the Orangery at Kensington Palace, and I had read reviews that were favorable. Kensington Palace is one of the Royal Residences. It had its beginnings in the late […]
Reason number 3,764 to return to England. I didn’t get to visit all the museums. (There are probably more than 3,764 museums in England, but… that number will do for a start.) We missed The British Museum and the National Portrait Gallery just to mention two. We did not even get to see all the […]
On the last night of our tour, we were taken to Brockfield Hall, Warthill, York, England for a “Be My Guest” English dinner. It was a chance for us to rub elbows and have dinner with almost royalty in an stately English home. The bus couldn’t go up the narrow lane to the home. I […]

I saw good friend Carolyn (Who greatly encouraged us to take this trip – Thank you very much!) at First Lady Nails today, and she mentioned she was waiting for me to blog about Stratford-on-Avon. Okay. I can do that. Here is how the tour worked. We got into Shottery, in Warwickshire, England in the […]
Many people have asked me, “What was your favorite thing in England?” I answer honestly that it is so hard to choose. I liked ALL of it. We saw so many wonderful interesting and historical things, but perhaps seeing the countryside would rank high on my list. Understand that many of my pictures of the […]
For some of the sites we visited in England we had special guides. They were knowledgeable and entertaining. A “Professor” guided us through the ancient ruins of Glastonbury Abbey. Notice the lime green socks. This man was funny -“King Arthur is buried twice at Glastonbury Abbey”. “What do monks do when they need to […]
I am going to move along faster. I will have other things to blog about, but at this time I am still so taken with our trip to England. Here are a few of my other favorites in London. The Eye: Before we left for England, Ann made me promise to ride The Eye. I […]
