Lovely London - some familiar & not so familiar images.........


Bloomsbury Square - the heart of the artists & artisans district..

Leicester Square - the theatre district......


Big Ben - standing tall and sparkling clean for 'London 2012' - the Jubilee celebrations & the Olympics











The dome of St Paul's Cathedral, so much in the news in recent days with the Queen's Jubilee Celebrations

Note the cloudless blue sky.....




So long London - until the next time....

Home again.............Au Revoir France

Greetings from School Lane........... Robyn & I arrived home safe & sound from London via Hong Kong. We both agreed it was a wonderful trip, very refreshing - good food for body & soul!
While travelling is great it's always good to be home again surrounded by family, friends & familiarity!

Two of my lovely nieces with one of the latest additions to our family - my great nephew. He is much loved & cherished and....... greatly photographed!!
Some final images to bid au revoir to glorious France. I'll let the pictures tell their own story.......
Nantes & Pour l'Amour du Fil where we were treated to a glorious array of quilts & other textile art projects ranging from the traditional to the wild & wondrous and even some art quilts with a serious message.....









Chateau de Chenonceau



Monet's Garden

 

Paris...........




Au revoir until our next sojourn in France........................Stay posted for the farewell post to England - coming soon...............

Thank you for joining us on our grand adventure & may the travelling spirit be with you!!
