I will have a short holiday break for 2 weeks from this blog.
Head over to my daily picture here
to see what I am up to.
I hope I can keep that up 🙂
No worries though I will be back.
You are still always with me in my heart!
Stay positive and enjoy life!
Recently we found another lovely oasis
called Hall Place.
A dear friend gave me some photograpy tips
and I am rather proud of this picture.
Hall Place is a historic house with 500 year history from 1537
surrounded with a garden.
It has the Queen’s Beasts, enormous heraldic animal topiary
planted in 1953 in celebration of the coronation of HM Queen Elizabeth II.
It has a Rose Garden
Pollinators were still very busy
We saw beautiful butterflies in the Butterfly House

The greatest gift of the garden is the restoration of our 5 senses. Hanna Rion
Again I went with my lovely friend to
Hyde Hall Garden as there was a Flowershow.
I totally loved it again. (see last post here)
Now in August, other flowers bloome,d
the sun was shining, a summer breeze in our hair…
Some close ups with my Canon Camera
Bees were pollinating.
Plants make people happy !
We had a wonderful day, we were very happy in this garden.
A garden is not a place but a journey.
I leave you with a sea of Echinaceas
Wishing you a wonderful Summer !
A wonderful friend invited me to
It has themed gardens like
Cottage Garden, Modern Country Garden,
Dry Garden, Rose Garden and more.
Now in June/July everything is blooming,
such a joy to walk through gardens.
We had a wonderful time and took many photos.
Please sit with me on the bench and enjoy the beauty!
Rest awhile, take in the beauty that surrounds you.
A beautiful garden is a haven of happiness.

Are you enjoying a garden in July?
Today, 9th June,
I am celebrating…… again
10 years with you, my friends, online.
What a great 10 years Blogging. I loved every minute. It gives me smiles, happiness, joy, information, inspiration, thoughts, and love.
♥I am grateful for having such wonderful friends here and appreciate your time with me! ♥
A heartfelt thank you for being with me for all this time.
To the next 10 years !!! Cheers!
In the loft I found 40 year old records of my apprenticeship journals.
I learnt the Hotel Business.
I learnt all aspects like reception, kitchen, serving, bar, clean rooms and running a hotel.
We had to write weekly reports, had them signed by the mentor and by the big boss.
It was fun to read them all again.
Life has changed in this electronic age…..look at that 🙂
There were no computers back then.
The Hotel journal was written by hand with a carbon paper and added up in the evening.
All reservations were taken by post or telephone and recorded on a chart.
It is funny to think this life without computers.
I really enjoyed my time in the Hotel with wonderful guests and colleagues.
Sweet memories ♥♥♥
Did you enjoy your learning journey way back?
It has been another year of challenges and growth and we will have again learnt plenty. May we be different people in a hopefully positively different world when we see an end to it all.
Until then, stay safe, stay healthy, stay positive ( in spirit and attitude).
May the New Year be full of Kindness Peace Hugs Light Gratitude Honesty Health Smiles Understanding Forgiveness Comfort Acceptance Compliments Presence Encouragement Hope Friendship Patience Support Fun and full of LOVE
Wishing all my friends a peaceful
and very happy Christmas!
This Christmas,
I just want everyone
to be happy, healthy, and loved.
Please take some of my gifts for you
This time I went to Kew to find the Autumn colours.
My blogger friend Colleen loves to travel and loves Kew,
so I invited Colleen along to enjoy the Gardens.
She loved the yellow Ginko Tree,
behind is a golden Larch just starting to colour.
Along the bridge a variety of colours…….
hang on Colleen I need to catch up.
This is a very tall Monkey Puzzle Tree.
We looked at it closely.
It looked more like a column.
Amazing nature ♥
I couldn’t stop Colleen climbing this Bonsai Tree.
We needed a break and sat down for lunch and a chat.
Colleen brought enough for all in the rucksack, thank you.
On our way we found this beautiful Autumn tree
and rustled through the Autumn leaves.
Thank you Colleen, I’m so happy you could come.
We were having so much fun in Kew Gardens together!!!
I loved every minute of it!!!
♥ Sharing is having more ♥
The best way to multiply your happiness is to share it with others.
