As I walked around the British countryside known as the Cottswalds, I kept thinking about how I was going to capture what I was seeing. I mean I took 5 cards worth of pictures, many of them of my family, many of them of the traditional thatched roof cottages prevalant in that part of the country… but yet somehow I wasn’t sure that I could explain what I was seeing.
So I thought I would take a short late afternoon walk, after our traditional tea [now there is a custom I could get seriously used to… tea with scones covered in clotted cream… uuummmmmmm] and take as many small shots as I could. Here is the result of my walk and the hope that at least you might be able to imagine a tiny bit of what I saw….
Talk to you soon.
Well you know what happens around here when we find ourselves with some leftover goodies…

What wonderful pitures! Thank you for posting them. The stone piece really caught my eye. It would be a wonderful applique pattern. I guess you already know that. I can’t wait to see where all this inspiration leads!

Love these pictures – thanks for putting them up. Why, is that that just looking at them you know they are from Europe?
I have enjoyed reading about Italy in your blog and now Britian! I hope that you have wonderful memories and put them on paper or in other form for your children and their children and so on………….
I just finished a fabulous travel memoir titled Without Reservations. It is wonderful – she travels to Italy, France and Britian to find out who she is without the definition of her career. I highly recommend it. Wonderful, wondeful book.
take care – working with charm packs of Dandelion Girl now – loving it! Thanks!
