Weekly Ponderings 13

This week I was excited about...

Returning home to the land of green fields, family and (fingers crossed, fingers crossed...) sunshine! We were in luck. The birds were singing in the trees, the daffodils were blooming and the sun beamed down from the sky to welcome us back to the British countryside (Alright, it might not look like it from this picture, but you're just going to have to trust me on this, OK?!).

It was even so warm that I was able to do a spot of blogging from a comfy seat on our balcony.

This week I was reminded...

How special and unique the food is in the UK. From bacon butties and brunches to cakes and champagne afternoon teas, we ate all the food. And it was good.

This week I appreciated...

Completing a whole heap of wedding-related business including visiting both of our stunning wedding venues on Easter Day: firstly our Church for the Easter service and then Chatsworth for their Laurent Perrier afternoon tea (which I highly recommend if you're ever in the area).

A fabulous stay in a hotel I have lusted after for quite a while (full post coming soon).

A beautiful Springtime walk through my favourite London park on our last day before flying home.

St James' Park just gave us the perfect goodbye. See you in 3 months London! #park #spring #springtime #lake #daffodils #Buckighampalace #royalparks #London #visitlondon #travel #tbloggers #travelblog #travelgram #followyoursunshine
