LalalaLondon

My littlest sister, Abbie, is off...to study abroad in London...I already miss her...and desperately want to be her right now...she just did her first post at AndtheFreshness.blogspot.com -- hooray!

She has so much loveliness ahead, but I can't help but think back. Living in London was one of my happiest times. There is just something magical about a place with so much rich history. In fact, when my mind drifts I often find myself somewhere in England - usually the North (Chatsworth maybe). Do you ever do that? Anyhow, it wasn't just the places, it was the people I was with.

England is, and will always be, one of my favorite places. I adore it all, and always leave wanting more. More ploughman's sandwiches, more Boots, more tea parties, more train rides up and down this wonderful country!

Have so much fun, Abbie!

Thanks for posting those. What a fun time. I am so glad I met you there. I had such a great time. I actually do not remember the picture at the park, but can clearly see myself in that GREEN shirt. I do remember the one of us on the street. I am sure your sister will have a lovely time. I am so jealous.

Thanks for posting, Angie.

What great pictures... an experience of a lifetime (one I hope to have in my lifetime as well). I hope Abbie has an amazing adventure there and that you can join her sometime!
