Along with the daffodils and the tulips, the other gift I anticipate the most about spring is my trip to England. When I was in London in December, the decorations were still in place from the Queen’s Jubilee…and now it will be decorated for the coronation of King Charles, a poignant juncture in time. I had no idea in November when I started planning this spring trip that the date of the ceremony would be May 6. Fortunately I return on May 4, just just in time to miss all the crowds.
In a way of sharing my enthusiasm about this upcoming trip I’ve selected some of the memory-inspiring shots that I’ve taken over the past years of London and the countryside, in spring and December (interspersed with an architecturaly-varied selection of that most British staple, the pub). Enjoy and I wish you safe travels, too. Be watching your in box for a series of blogs on all things British…including gardens, of course.
A beautiful way to wake up to such gorgeous photos. Almost as good as being there in person. Looking forward to seeing all from your Spring 2023 visit. Bon Voyage! EE
Bettie,
I am off to England in a few weeks. Could you spare the time to talk with me on the phone about gardens?
