Hours into sorting and re-sizing photos, I may have been a little overzealous to try to squeeze one more blog post into today. Plus I don’t want to image, sensory, overload you already ;) 

This is a glimpse into our lovely three day visit to England somewhat in order of the events, shot with both the Iphone and my Nikon.

1. forsythia blooming. loving that gorgeous YELLOW

2. window boxes at our hotel in Haslemere

3.  doors to British "toilets" in train stations seem to be painted the prettiest colors

4. Sean at our new favorite Haslemere restaurant Pizza Francesca

5. This pizza place not only had the BEST pizza, but it also offered the BEST EVER "puddings" one of which was this toffee, banana cream pie. Expressions I love from England "puddings" = desserts, and "hen party" = bachelorette party. 

6. Cafe in beautiful Bath where I took the train to visit Susannah

7. Bath window shopping

8. More bath window shopping and picture taking

9. Sus and her favorite polaroid camera

10. a whole lot of polaroid shots to get just 1 ~ which by the way, my new "about photo" was shot by Susannah in Bath

11. Susannah shooting that very cool vintage British car across the street

12. "breakfast heaven" as Susannah called it ~ Nutella toast with bananas

13. Susannah’s flowers in her flat

14. the cutest, most colorful characters that her sister Abby knitted. I SO want to paint them!

15. the "magic" tree in Bath ~ some of the most beautiful blossoms you’ve ever seen ~they are not a pink, pink, but a light whispy, soft, pink ~ most people don’t notice the  difference, but oh there is a difference between pink blossoms!~ set against Susannah’s apartment building

16. waiting at the train station. After taking 8 trains, and 2 buses in England, in two day,  I like to consider myself a "near expert" in public transit there. Actually England makes it s easy for you to travel in their country. Oh, how I wish our country had trains like that, especially in my city of Los Angeles. 

Up next: Paris if not today, then tomorrow

Fantastic. One of the many, many things Europe gets right: Nutella for breakfast. And I adore that apron.
Looks beautiful! I love seeing these tidbits of your day.
Great photos! I'm enjoying living vicariously through you!
love all the pics~no overload here. love the new banners and about photos on your blog too...so appropriate!

i just did a blog today about bananas and nuts and i was thinking about this breakfast that you tweeted, but could not begin to know how to reference it, thanks now i can.

happy new home and adventure to you!

au revoir
The pics are fabulous. I'm so glad you are having the best time. Those desserts look divine. Enjoy your journey to France.
Great Euro-blogging so far! Looking forward to more updates and photos. Thank you for sharing this with all of us :) Such fun.
Yay you made it!! Have fun!!!
Hope your subletting worked out!
xxoxo
Lovely photos and I love Donna Wilson's knitted characters - I've made the little cat too and a raccoon and a bear....so utterly bizarre but so much fun as you say!
Thanks Mati! It did work out!!! A family is renting our house while we are away.
I used to live in England for 11 years and reading your blog made me missed my time when I was there... ^_^
It's great to look at something like this and still get the kind of feeling you had when you were looking at old photos. This kind of vintage is better.
