England at Easter

Oh how I love England. I love the people, the food, the beer, the weather (the weather? yep, all that rain makes it so green!).

We visited our dear friend Dave at Easter and it was wonderful.

We visited Burford because they have a wonderful needlework shop there. Well, the shop was everything I thought it would be but the town was an amazing surprise!

This is where we parked our car! Just a "normal" street in Burford. Look at those daffodils! Those old trees! That ancient bench. The stone houses - I want to LIVE here!


How ENGLISH!

The English seem to be serious about baskets. But honestly, can you think of any place in the USA where the display would be so beautiful and outside?

Spring in boxes!



It was misty. That's why it looks so gray.
But why are they laughing so hard?
Check out the street sign above them and consider British humor.....


This is taken on the bridge in front of Burghley House. If you've seen the new movie of Pride and Prejudice with Judi Dench, it was used as her home in the movie. We didn't get to go inside - too late in the day - but it's on our list for next time!
