Crumbling Cookie

"Crumbling Cookie" was the name of a delightful neighborhood coffee shop by sister in law took me to on my last day in Leicester! That name has stuck with me. I absolutely love it :) It is her favorite haunt and I could see why. The cappuccino was superb and the Victoria sponge cake was to die for :) Sigh! What a lovely vacation it was.........

I have the flu and ts really bugging me! I am cranky and sipping down endless cups of tea! However, I would rather be at the Crumbling Cookie :) I have a vacation hangover and its not going away any time soon!!

How is your week coming along??

I've Got Wales On My Mind

Here are a few postcards from my recent trip to Wales. We were six of us in one car. My husband, my kids, my brother and sister in law. It was special.... it was beautiful and so much fun :)

Here are some words I live by " “To travel is to live.” ― Hans Christian Andersen.

A gorgeous spot to watch the sunset after a long day of driving. This place is called Holyhead on the Island of Anglesey in North Wales.

Outdoor Haven

The sun is shining brilliantly in my neck of the woods. This outdoor haven is the perfect inspiration to welcome Spring. I am looking forward to setting up my backyard. Yay for Spring :) I have a weakness for colored bottles and these are so pretty!!
