England, a cool, rainy and very green garden isle. We have been here for a few days after a wonderful time in Cadaques, Spain. It's quite a contrast between the two. Cadaques is on the water, a little fishing village on the med, the hills surrounding the town are terraced with slate and planted in olives. The buildings are either whitewashed or stone and every street is laid with stone. These little curving streets run up the hills and turn in to stairways on a lot of them. Add lots of sunshine and blue, blue water. Then there's England. The roads are lined with hedges with the occasional peak across green fields. We went to a beautiful estate, dating back to 1103 that had acres of walled gardens. It felt a bit like a maze or a secret garden, going from one to the next. One might be an orchard with the next one flower beds and a sculpture or a bench to sit on. We spent a day in London, going around to Borough Market ( wild with foods from all over), to the Tate Modern art museum, and a nearby cathedral. Lots of people and lots of action!
Hopefully you can paint your own pictures in your heads for now because I'm not able to add photos from this iPad. I will post some at a later date.
In a few short days we will be asea on the Celebrity Infinity for our cruise across the Atlantic and then home. Keep the light on..
