Bath, England
Bath got it’s name from the Roman Baths in the city which were built in 60 AD. It was raining when we arrived, so I RELAXED while visitors sought protection under their umbrellas!

River Avon
Bath, England
We took a cruise on the River Avon and we went under the Pulteney Bridge. At the end of our hour journey I asked the captain if I could put my feet up and take a photo. I showed him a previous photo with my feet. He laughed and said, ‘wish you were here’, as a question. I laughed and said, ‘yes, with an added RELAXING on the River Avon’. He was so excited, really cute and so I got this photo!

Relaxing at Stonehenge
Salisbury, England
I had to sit and RELAX and think of the past and those who built Stonehenge. There are so many unanswered questions! Who were they? Why did they built it and how did they without our modern equipment? We may never know! When we visited years ago we could walk around the rocks. I was a bit disappointed this time that we are kept back, but preservation is important and it’s much easier to take photos without a ton of people in the photo! Notice my new flipflops!

Salisbury, England
Stonehenge has always seemed mystical to me. Constructed between 3,000 BC & 2,000 BC, it is believed to be a burial ground. The question has always been and may remain for all time; How was it built? When we visited years ago we could walk around the rocks. I was a bit disappointed this time that we are kept back, but preservation is important and it’s much easier to take photos without a ton of people in the photo!

Epsom, England
Epsom Downs is the premier horse racing track in the British Isles. So, I thought I would sit and RELAX while waiting for the races to begin! Here come the horses! 😍🐎 Oh, and yes I am sitting right where they race, on the grass! The weather is beautiful and no flipflops because the only pair I have with me, broke!

London
Epsom, England
We spent the afternoon with some wonderful friends, Di & David and after a yummy lunch they showed us their stomping grounds. Just across from Epsom Downs, (the premier horse racing track in the British Isles) is a golf course with a beautiful view of London! ENJOY London from afar!

The Union Jack or Union Flag of the United Kingdom flies over Hampton Court Palace. I love to take photos of flags, it’s always my challenge to get the perfect shot as they wave in the wind. This time, with all the chimney’s, which there are many, it turned out nice!

Hampton Court
East Molesey, England
Chelsea and I were off today to Hampton Court, a royal palace in the London Borough of Richmond Upon Thames. King Henry VIII lived here at one time. When King William III lived here it took on a massive rebuilding and expansion project and was intended to rival Versailles. Sir Christopher Wren’s architectural work was so expensive that only half of it was completed. (I had to throw in Sir Christopher Wren because he is one of my ancestors, my 5th great grandfather I believe.) It hasn’t been inhabited by royalty since the 18th century.

Lots of Pigeons
Kingston Upon Thames, England
There are a ton of pigeons in England and they are fearless, so you have to watch out for them. Right after taking this photo one whizzed by my face! I thought of my friend Vicki Tuua, when I saw this sign! Is your deck any better?
While eating lunch with my friend Ilaria Silli, I noticed people crossing the bridge and looking down, see the lady on the bridge, looking down, what do you think she’s looking at? Tomorrow I’ll show you, here’s a hint; there is one in this photo! Any guesses?
