Why don't we go, somewhere only we know...I hope you like that song, it is by Keane, a band from East Sussex, where all of these photos were taken. (All photos by Richard!)
Can you spot me in one of the photos? I promise I am not as close to the cliff edge as it looks!
Take care, everyone, and hope you all are having a good week.

Let's get through this winter by looking at some photos that we took in England in the summer of 2010.
It is a green and pleasant land.
Can you spot me in one of the photos? I promise I am not as close to the cliff edge as it looks!
Take care, everyone, and hope you all are having a good week.
Oh, I love that green hillside with the yellow flowers. AND, of course, the cows. Sweet baby cows! Hope you're having a good week, Kay!
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a good one too, Audrey!
DeleteThose yellow flowers are called buttercups and they are the so tiny, yet with a lot of them they add up to quite a display of color!
And guess what, my Dad had three calves born just this week! :-)
England looks as beautiful as I've imagined. I'd love to visit someday.
ReplyDeleteTerry,
DeleteYou would be surprised at much of it you would recognize! I knew a lot of the flowers and plants from my Beatrix Potter books. Just goes to show what a great observer of nature she truly was!!
What the hell is that egg-shaped thing in the first photo? Some kind of left-over bomb?
ReplyDeleteThat was at the Redoubt in Eastbourne. It was built to make sure that Napoleon wouldn't invade Britain. HE DIDN"T DARE!!!
DeleteNow, it is used as a military museum and we really are not positive what that egg-shaped object was, but we thought it could be a mine. (It was from 2010, so we don't remember!)
Also, if you read about the Redoubt, it looks as if Canadian troops were there before the D-Day landings! :-)
What beautiful pictures! I, too, don't know what that egg-shaped thing is in the first picture but it looks kind of scary! Hope you are having a good night- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteYes, Diana, see my reply above to Debra!
DeleteThese photos were before we got the better camera we have now, the colors were even brighter!! xx
No better way to start the day than to come to your blog and look at these beautiful pictures of a beautiful country with my coffee mug in hand!
ReplyDeleteI'll be going over in July to see the family, can't wait!
Ah, lucky you, I don't get to see it in July with all the summer happenings, that would be nice.
DeleteThere is a TV show called "DCI Banks" that is set in Yorkshire, I wonder if you have seen it? It's a good show, we really like it.
No, I don't know this TV show, but I think I know the books it is based on, by Peter Robinson if I am not mistaken.
DeleteI love looking at cows in green pastures, they always make me feel relaxed. Yes, what is that thing in the first picture?
ReplyDeleteI love that photo that Richard got with the happy English cows and the chalky cliffs just showing against the blue sea and blue sky!
DeleteAh, we think it could be a mine, not sure, see my reply to Debra above!!
Thank you for all the greenery and blooms today!! It does help! Everything here is quite white and frozen.
ReplyDeleteI think snow is beautiful too, but we don't have that in Georgia! Not yet, anyway! xx
DeleteBeautiful images! I can't wait until it gets very green around here. Coming soon...
ReplyDeleteI know how much you love your outdoors, dear Martha!
DeleteCan't wait to see your garden again in the Spring!
Thank you Kay...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images, even if I am biased!!
Also Keane is one of my favourite bands, this song a favourite... the perfect post!
Hope you are all having a good week.
Ivan
I am happy to show you photos of your homeland! :-)
DeleteSo glad you like Keane too, if you go back to read my blog from our visit to England in June...we really had just missed them when we visited Richard's friends in Bexhill! Typical! :-)
There is no place so beautiful as the place only you know. Your pictures have brightened our cloudy day.
ReplyDeleteDear Mimi,
DeleteSomewhere only we know...me and my wonderful readers!!
I needed that reminder of summer, Kay. Despite the sunny few days we've had it's been cold!
ReplyDeleteYes, my in-laws had said it has been cold, but they are lucky, they are able to get quite a few sunny days in Eastbourne!
DeleteOh, how lovely, Kay! Thank you for reminding us of warmer and greener days.
ReplyDeleteInquiring minds want to know: what on earth is that egg-shaped thing? Do tell...
We think we egg-shaped thing might be some kind of weapon, since it was on display at the Redoubt in Eastbourne.
DeleteThe summer in England is really something! :-)
Ahhhh... These are all so lovely, Kay! I'd love to go back to England someday. Sigh...
ReplyDeleteYou would love to walk over the Downs and see the seaviews! And then, we could all go for fish and chips, wonderful!!
DeleteKay- Are those the Cliffs of Dover in the background in the photo of the cows?
ReplyDeleteWhat pastoral, peaceful views!
Those chalky cliffs are truly a beautiful thing to see!
DeleteThis particular photo was taken at Beachy Head in Eastbourne. A good bit of the southeast coast of England has those white cliffs but most people think of "The White Cliffs of Dover". No wonder, it is such a good song!
Well spotted, since you can barely see the cliffs in this photo!!
fantastic photos! and so much nicer than being in Michigan right now. blizzard here. thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteOh, I saw the photos of the blizzard, the newscast advised those who live in the area to make sure they have water and blankets in their cars. That's scary!
DeleteYou have a wonderful positive way about you, you are my kind of gal! :-)
Thanks for following me. I appreciate it! :-)
Lovely pictures! I was also in England and Scotland in the summer of 2010...Mostly in Edinburgh and Moffat, Scotland but also in the Lake District and in the area around Taunton and Westbridge while visiting a friend in Enmore.
ReplyDeleteOh, I wish I could have met you there! I have a dream to see Scotland and also the Lake District. Beatrix Potter is a big hero to me!
DeleteRichard's parents have friends who live in Taunton!
Dreamy photography! My son was there last year.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lisa! My husband takes most of the the photos that I use on my blog, I only want the best for my readers!
DeleteYour son probably saw more of England than I did, I only know this one little corner of it! :-)
Thanks so much for becoming a follower. I appreciate it!
Gorgeous photos, Kay! I just knew it was England! Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Louise! I can't trick you! :-)
DeleteIt will be a rainy weekend, but I'm going to see my Dad, and that is always a good time!
