The flowers are so vibrant with color, and the food looks yummy. My daughters visited England a few years ago and had the best time. Me and my daughters also have a blog, and we would love it if you would visit us and follow. I would certainly come back and follow you as well. It's nice to meet new friends, and you really do have a charming blog. I hope to hear from you, and have a sweet day.<br /><br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-20186232192691228502015-08-09T12:31:58.800-04:002015-08-09T12:31:58.800-04:00Oops, brain freeze...of course you were there in M...Oops, brain freeze...of course you were there in May!jerilandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418564262425621746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-67935271137148307632015-08-08T20:27:18.975-04:002015-08-08T20:27:18.975-04:00Jeri, we were in England in May.

The first photo of the stone building, the hillside with sheep, all the way through to the last photo of the narrow road with the stone wall. Be still my heart.
