What little thingies did you find?<br />Botanical gardens are always a great way to spend a day--if you get to London, you need to visit Chelsea Physick Garden! And Kew Garden has those giant lilies too. My hubby has become a lover of gardens now. His focus is native plants. They just have to find their botanic niche :)<br />Kids at boarding school? When we lived in Indonesia, our kids went to BS-- they loved it, me not so much.Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912030095491960175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29110041.post-77696431675088669782015-09-13T01:54:05.394+02:002015-09-13T01:54:05.394+02:00That's funny that both you and Gattina mention...That's funny that both you and Gattina mentioned Ikea.

That would be scary. <br /><br />Love the architecture, colours, and windiness of the town with cobblestone streets..Beautiful towns take my breath away. Someday I will live in a beautiful town. . . . The "art" looks like an ear with an inner tattoo.<br /><br />So cute that you are so smitten with your guy and that you don't care who know about it.

My husband prefers to preach in white shirts. I have bought him a blue one because *I* loved it. :) Whenever he decides to wear it for me, I tease him about how I didn't pay attention to the message anyway! So I read him that line of your post and he laughed and said, "You dirty women!" LOLOLOL So funny. What a fun day you had! Glad you finally got to visit your garden spot after 15 long years!
