Yes, I'm back from England, but have been so busy and no time to post a new blog entry or visit other blogs. Maybe tomorrow before visitors come on Monday!<br />I need to sort a lot of photos, but I have to start somewhere!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015603838340372502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-36511134737520248652019-07-20T18:28:04.505+02:002019-07-20T18:28:04.505+02:00Sandra your photographs are always so lovely.

Our life has been up and down and all around, but we are walking through it with hearts filled with faith. By the time I am typing this, you are probably home from your England trip. I do hope you took lots of photos. Oh, that sounded very selfish of me . . . but I love your photography, you find and compose the very pretties scenes. I do hope your trip was marvelous and that you had a lovely time :)<br />God bless you,<br />Connie :) Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-60223903329849195142019-07-05T20:50:15.326+02:002019-07-05T20:50:15.326+02:00Thank you!

This one started out with different greens, but I didn't like the look of it, so I changed the greens to blues and preferred the harmony it created!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015603838340372502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-77352649612159964272019-07-05T11:35:20.046+02:002019-07-05T11:35:20.046+02:00Thank you, Lissa.

The mandala was really nice to make. I like to imagine a name, according to the pattern and colours!

As long as it's not raining, the hubby and I always go for an evening stroll through the garden, to take in the scent of the roses, to spot the changes, to enjoy the beauty of it all...

So I can enjoy walks away from busy roads and noise, which is lovely! I can also get down to the city centre very easily on foot in about 20-25 minutes or by bus. <br />Thank you for your good wishes for my upcoming trip. I leave today!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015603838340372502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-49182984534743806252019-06-24T01:49:19.950+02:002019-06-24T01:49:19.950+02:00Like your other readers, I marvel that you have su...Like your other readers, I marvel that you have such beautiful, quiet neighborhoods to walk through where people so obviously care about their gardens—right in the heart of a big city. What a nice way to begin and end each day! I appreciate your mindfulness, Sandra, and how you intentionally fill your days with the things you love—flowers, good food, books, and crochet. I need to do more of that in my own life. Have a wonderful trip to England!SusanAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12752628219836145623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-25950498750342088262019-06-23T17:52:21.565+02:002019-06-23T17:52:21.565+02:00So glad you enjoyed visiting my neighbourhood and ...So glad you enjoyed visiting my neighbourhood and its flowers with me! Yes, I do love having a Farmer's Market very close to me and a bigger one with lots of different stalls downtown (I can walk down there in 25 minutes or catch the bus). So glad your weather has warmed up now too. We are starting to feel the heat as a heat-wave blows over the continent from Spain! It will be a little cooler in England, thank goodness! <br />Thank you for your good wishes, Carol!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015603838340372502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-49015158433847508332019-06-23T17:24:40.560+02:002019-06-23T17:24:40.560+02:00I truly enjoyed your neighborhood tour, Sandra! Ho...I truly enjoyed your neighborhood tour, Sandra! How wonderful it must be to have a market within walking distance--we have to use a car to get anywhere in the suburbs of my large city, unfortunately. I grew up in a small town and really miss that lifestyle. Your flowers are just wonderful and I'm glad you managed to save them from the worst of the storm. We have had rainy day after rainy day, but finally have a beautiful sunny weekend--what a blessing!<br /><br />Hope you have a wonderful visit in England--with some good weather as well :) See you when you return! ♥Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368237913096460512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-32623985773750675682019-06-22T06:58:31.641+02:002019-06-22T06:58:31.641+02:00Glad you enjoyed all the flowers in my neighbourho...Glad you enjoyed all the flowers in my neighbourhood. There are still so many private homes with lovely gardens everywhere and I love to walk in those areas once or twice a day to enjoy it all. I also get to listen to birdsong when I choose the early mornings and evenings! We have a heatwave coming this way from Spain and it will spread all over the continent and even into England! I'll need my sunhat and a bottle of water with me wherever I go!

I need to get out and find a neighborhood with summer flowers. I live in the country where lots are big and there are not flowers close to the road. Also love your balcony flowers. I'm glad you were able to move your flowers during the storm! Enjoy your time in England! I'll look forward to seeing what caught your eye!Cathy H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10779935742253650385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-79790214496630385202019-06-21T21:42:09.159+02:002019-06-21T21:42:09.159+02:00Lovely glimpses of your spring walks.
