Well, I‘ve been lucky enough to spend time in Spain, France, England and Germany in the last 2 months. One of the great pleasures with this is not only do I get to spend time with people that I like, but I also get to eat all types of great food.

I’ll tell you all about that in my next posts, but for today I thought I’d share a few photos of my 2 recent trips to England. My awesome aunty Wendles and uncle Peter took me to see Stansted Park Garden Show, which we all thoroughly enjoyed.

The little Chapel is soooo lovely and we got to have a look at the lovely flower decorations inside. The main house looks lovely from the outside and we will probably go and visit the inside on another occasion.


A highlight of the show was for me the Bird Show. I have seen it before at the Findon Fair a year or so ago, but it really is worth watching. They have, amongst others, Peregrine Hawks that fly about and chase willing onlookers… I shall say no more, just go and have a look. (I’ll find their website and update this post asap.) This beautiful Siberian Eagle Owl didn’t do any flying, but I find him so impressive, I just had to include him!

It was my wonderful Dad’s 71st birthday and it was lovely to be able to celebrate it with my folks. I took Dad out to Sea Life Brighton and we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

I also go to go to London and visit my absolutely divine friends, Deirdre and Roger, and see my “stolen” daughter, Ashleigh. Had I had a daughter, then I would have wanted her to be just like Ashleigh! Now, if I could only find the photos I took of her…you’ll just have to wait till the summer to see her.
