My daughter and I returned from London on Friday evening. Even though we had a marvelous 8 days in London it was wonderful to get home to Kevin and the boys whom we missed so much!
I took a ton of pictures (as you probably guessed I would!) and I would love to show you them all.
But today I have just picked a smattering of my favourites from each day in hopes that you will return several times over the next few weeks and see more of our journey in detail thanks to the 500+ photos I took!
From here on in I will keep the text to a minimum so that you can enjoy the pictures. Many speak for themselves!

As you can see, we filled our days with a variety of adventures. We've already begun reminiscing about our days away knowing that we've created some amazing mother/daughter memories.
Come back soon. I have so much more to share from our adventures.
First up - our afternoon at Fortnum & Mason.
Hugs to all,
Bronwyn |
Fabulous! It looks like you've had a great time and managed to sample more than one afternoon tea! Looking forward to the rest of your photos xx
ReplyDeleteMuch tea was consumed - and never without a slice of cake or scone! I am really surprised that my weight hasn't changed over the week long vacation!! More pics to come!
DeleteI am so glad you both had an amazing time and got to see London in the springtime. It's a shame I couldn't join you at some point... but one day we will meet up! Looking forward to seeing more of what you both got up to xx
ReplyDeleteNext time Chel. I love the UK so much that I plan on returning very soon. My daughter is already asking when SHE can go back, not to mention the boys who want their turn too!
DeleteOh my! I've been following you on Instagram, but these photos are gorgeous! What a wonderful time the two of you had and such special memories made. Have a lovely Sunday.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Vicky
So many memories! My daughter is an amazing travel companion. I am sure this is the first of many trips away with her.
DeleteI am so glad that you had such a wonderful time - or times!!! Fantastic!!!! xx
ReplyDeleteSo may moments to remember - I am glad I took so many pics to help me keep them in order in my brain. Afton was a great partner and we are already planning our next getaway together!
DeleteBeautiful, beautiful photos! You look like you had a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteWe really did. The UK really is my favourite place on earth (next to home of course!) Now I can start looking forward to our next trip - hubby and I this time - to Italy in July!!
DeleteWow! You have been busy, but you must have had so much fun!
ReplyDeleteWe filled every day with fun! Usually a museum, a church and something yummy to eat. It was the perfect way to spend our holiday time.
DeleteWow, it looks like you fitted in so much - and tea and Fortnum and Mason. I can't wait to hear more about that one! Beautiful Spring pictures, I can't wait for a little more sun and more adventures. Glad you had a wonderful time. xx
ReplyDeleteWe did a lot, but never overdid it. I fwe were tired from sightseeing we went back to the hotel and relaxed all evening, then we were refreshed for a new day of adventures the next morning. I am just editing my F&M photos so I'll hopefully have them up here soon!
DeleteAll lovely places. Even though I live here, I've not seen them all. I haven't seen that statue by the Roman Wall, Museum of London, even though I've been a fair few times to the Museum of London. Plus I've never been to afternoon tea at Beas of Bloomsbury. You've inspired me. Thankyou. Looking forward to seeing more photos. Katharine x
ReplyDeleteOH! Your home country has so many wonderful things to see and do. I highly recommend Bea's, and the Roman wall I pictured is right near the Tower of London. More pics to come, for sure!
Deletelook at all those afternoon teas! it looks like such a fab trip. My goddaughters love coming to visit and going to the Natural History museum, such good fun!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I had never visited that museum before! This was my fifth visit to London and had never made it there. I thin I'll go back next time too!
DeleteI absolutely love the flowery piano! x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, isn't it!?
DeleteYou packed so much in, lovely photos and a very pretty girl xx
ReplyDeleteThanks. She is quite the sweetie and a very easy travel partner.
DeleteIt looks like you had a brilliant time! The pictures are beautiful. I can't wait to hear and see more. Everything looks so familiar but I love other people's take on it. Your little one is lovely too x
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed every minute! I have so many pictures to share. Keep watching this blog and I'll give you a complete tour of London over the next few weeks :)
DeleteWhere did last month go? it flew by in a whizz. I'm looking forward to reading more about your travels and adventures :) x x x x
ReplyDeleteI know! It's been nearly a month since we met you!! I am still struggling through editing and organizing my pics of the trip, but I hope to share our market outing on the blog soon!
