A road trip combined with a wedding reception took us to the Highlands of Scotland for a fabulous week of scenery and celebration. Foster was even along for the journey! We stopped over in the Lakes District on our way to Scotland at an adorable pub/inn outside of Penrith -- George and the Dragon. It was the Thursday before the Bank Holiday so the staff were getting ready for a full house; this was the calm before the storm. So glad to have a nice place to rest...

We spent Easter in Cornwall and were blown away by the coast line. Couldn't have asked for better spring weather (although I did ask for warmer water!) -- sunny skies, cool breezes. We headed out on Thursday night to "beat" the traffic. It took me 2 hours just to get to Heathrow where I picked Todd up! The craziness of a big city -- everyone tries to get out when there's a long weekend. once we got on the M3 we were cruisin' and since the days have bee...

Todd, Emily & Foster's B&B Tour of England & Scotland After nearly a year living in London, we figured it was high time to check out the other parts of this not-so-little island. We mapped out a circle route that turned in to a figure 8 and headed out for a week of exploring. Our travels took us to the rolling Peak Distict and the spectacular Lakes District, Hadrian's Wall, Chain Gate Bridge Honey Farm, Edinburgh, and Yorkshire. Everywhere we went, w...

Not a whole lot in the way of a travel plan just enjoying each other and soaking up London life. Day 1 (10 Sept): Mama & Kate arrive!!! We walked to Hampstead Village and around the old cemetery. Several weeks back I "bumped" in to Billy Bob Thornton in front of the church across from the cemetery. Returning to the scene was a l...

Erin Enright Garvan (a fellow Marlborough violet), her son Luke, and I visited the National Portrait Gallery for this small but awesome exhibit on Thursday. About halfway to the tube, I realized I left my camera in the flat...bummer! No turning back. Good thing because I couldn't take photos of the exhibit, although I would have loved to get a picture of Erin, Luke, and I. Next time! It was a perfect day to be inside. After 3 days of exceptional sunny bliss, Thu...
