Romantic resting places.

I was looking through some of my magazines in the weekend and just loved some of these beautiful gardens and places to chill out.



It would be like a vacation sitting in this back yard. Isn't it so beautiful and romantic, with the standard wisteria.

To curl up on this white wicker chair with a good book would be a fun way to spend the afternoon.

This is like a secret garden and wouldn't it be fun to have lunch here.

Have a happy week ahead.

  11. Hi Renee,

    Thanks for visiting and they are lovely places to dream.

    Hi Jennifer,

    Around here our Summers are like that with the sound of lawn mowers on a Saturday morning. I do not mind though as I think that everyone is caring for their gardens.

    Hi Fifi,

    yes, that would be all you would need to relax here.

  26. Hello Marg and thanks for visiting my blog. I look forward to going to visit your blog.
    You are my second friend now from Finland.

    Hi Catherine,

    It would be a lovely way to spend the afternoon sitting at any of these lovely places.

    Hi Ni,

    Sorry you are having trouble with your PC {sight} I have been all day without the computer and it has only just come on - the server was down. What did we do before computers?

    Hi Mary,

    a lovely day over here. We had a stiff frost which is unusual for us. Our daughter went to drive the car and there was ice on the window and came and asked what to do.
    Funny she had never seen this here.

    thank you Deanna, for following my blog also. I look forward to coming to visit you soon.

    Hi Sares,

    I forgot all about the Costume Party and will see what I can come up with. Thank you for the reminder.

    Hugs
