You can take the girl out of England ... but never England out of the girl

...spent an amazing time in  England... my Country of birth...

and while I was only a child when I left ... it felt just like home when I returned x

"Travel is like love,

mostly because it's a heightened state of awareness

in which we are mindful

receptive

undimmed by familiarity 

and ready to be transformed.

That is why the best trips,

like the best love affairs,

never really end"

~Pico Iyer~

Kensington Palace Gardens

"Without new experiences

something inside us sleeps.

The sleeper must awaken"

~Frank Herbert~

Victoria and Albert Museum

"You loose sight of things ...

and when you travel,

everything balances out"

~Daranna Gidel~

the very tame & beautiful birds in Kensington Park near Diana's Fountain

let your heart guide you ...

it whispers...

so listen closely
