Happy New Year, friends!

These were going to be my two-fer pics for my Wordless Wednesday post, but insert long, dull excuse here, LOL!
Oh my, we’ve been having a lovely visit here in the Lone Star State. The sad thing is we can fit in only so much visiting, so much eating, so  much shopping. Squeezing in [...]

Somewhere in Houston. Do you know?
I think I’m just about over my jet lag. We’ve been in Texas nearly a week and for the most part I’ve been waking up between 2:45 and 4:30 AM. Last night I managed to stay up past 11pm, so I actually slept until 5:30 this morning. I guess I [...]

Kew Gardens, England (Part II)

Kew Gardens, England (Part II)

Continuing our tour of Kew… Part I can be found here.

This beautiful home was built in 1631 for Samuel Fortrey, a rich merchant. The royal family leased the house in 1728, and used it as a family retreat during the time of King George III.  Today, you can tour this home. I’d like to go back [...]

Kew Garden, England (Part I)

On Tuesday, my good friend S and I visited the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This year, the garden is celebrating its 250th birthday! 
The garden is huge: 121 hectares or 300 acres. We were there for three hours and probably saw less than half of it. And we were being relatively [...]

Living as an American (Texan!) in England

Yesterday, I was exchanging messages with Emm about what to write for World Blog Surf Day. I was trying to think of a way to boil down my expat experience here in England. Two years of living abroad was a bit too much to condense into a short post. However, one thing I kept circling [...]
