Escaping

We escaped to the Cotswolds for a few days last week and it was sheer BLISS to let the wind blow us westwards to Gloucestershire to re-unite with old friends and the beautiful lush green country side. 


Not only is it about creating beautiful memories and the reminiscing about our South African days when we were in our early twenties, it's about celebrating and embracing the beauty of our lives here in this place we call home and those of our children.

























It all ended in a few salty tears.
Until it happens again...

  10. What a lovely, lovely set of photos - too many to properly comment on them all! I especially liked the tiny pink blossom, and the axe in the chopping block.

    So glad you had a wonderful visit with friends.
