Blogging from Blighty

So here I am back again in England and the first 10 days or so have gone by in rather a blur to say the least.  First of all the inevitable and unavoidable jet lag.  Although I do have to admit it wasn't that awful this time - dear Mr SE used a bucket full of his Frequent Flyer points to upgrade me to business class. I know, extremely lucky and I actually enjoyed every moment of the 24 hour flight. A few 'piccie's to follow of my first days in England.  But firstly a big thank you to all who commented on my last post when I told you my news and the fact that I am now going to be living here for the next year - Eleanor, Jane, Janelle, Beth, Jules, Deja Pseu, Coffee Addict, Sydney Shop Girl, Mise, Susie, Pauline W, Natasha in Oz, Young @ heart, Faux Fuchsia, Ms Maple, Ida, Lilac in May, Raisa, Leeann and Belinda - really appreciated hearing from each and every one of you... And can I ask anyone how on EARTH do you put that little REPLY box after each comment so you can reply to each person individually?  Sorry to sound like a bit of a technical twit but I would so love to know... Anyway, back to the photographs and they have come out in no particular order a bit jumbled....
At the market in Marlborough - lots of lovely fresh veggies
Fuchsias - (real, not FAUX!) my parents' garden
Above and below the lovely Wiltshire countryside

Hanging basket - planted by my Father - at their house
Flags - patriotic style - my parents' house 

Daughter on bicycle, last weekend - me walking behind!
Above 2 photos - garden at my parents' home



Look out for my next post where I will give you directions o  how to reach my  NEW ENGLISH blog...  Meanwhile hope you are enjoying the first weekend in September - how quickly this year seems to be going.

  8. Hello S!!

    Things are looking fabulous around your neck of the woods. So happy that you've settled into your 'new' life. You also look fab! As usual :-)

    I use Disqus which is separate to blogger for my comments however there is a blogger option where I think you can add replies to comments.

    Take care

  16. It seems as though the flight from Melbourne to England would be very long, but I did not realize that it would be an entire twenty four hours. That is an extremely long time to be on a plane, at least you were in first class. These are some great photos, especially the pictures of the countryside.
