Cheers from England

"Are you crazy!"   (mad as a hatter)

"You cannot go away now, this is busy season!"

"What were you thinking?!?!" 

I was not seeking permission, really,  I had already booked a flight at the cusp of our busy season,.......I am going to call it my personal Self Care tour.  

Before madness reigns when landscape season begins and collides with my interiors business.

Sometimes an escape is all one needs in the end……ahem, literally. Stepping off, pulling back, changing scenery can not only lift one's spirits, but calm the mind and stir creativity, by leaps.

This Clematis was in full, glory. Spring in England is stunning

Visiting with my friend, Fleur, to see the garden in spring. On our garden tour this is one of our stops, the full extent of her garden, then a tour inside the cottage, with tea & coffee. Fleur is also a fine artist, her paintings are on full display. This is a treat as she mentioned a looming retirement with a move to the city & sadly an end to this favorite

Sylvia and I are busy planning our two tours this year;

 Gardens and Antiquing Sept. 13th - 22nd

         London Design & Antiquing 
                Oct.4th - 11th

I am excited for this maiden tour, loving every activity planned.
