While I was waiting to meet my friends I heard the dulcet tones of Morris Dancing, I crossed over the road to find several bands of Morris Men taking in turns to dance in the street. Never did find out if there was any reason for this display but it always makes my heart sing. And as I was on my own I could enjoy the sight without anyone moaning! </div>

The other sad reason for this was that our neighbour who was in her 90s sadly passed away earlier in the year. I usually went over to see her for a cup of coffee and a natter when I was at home but it meant I didn't often walk further up the valley as in the winter the light was starting to fade after I had seen her. I should add that when I say neighbour she lived half a mile away!!!<br />

So to catch up after my mum and dad picked me up from the Station we stopped of at Holker Hall for a walk around their gardens. It was mum's birthday that week so it was also an early birthday treat. The house and garden are fairly formal but then the landscape opens out to woodland then open fields. I'd forgotten how big it was!<br />

We didn't venture out of the valley while I was there which was brilliant if I'm honest as it meant I could take the camera and go for long walks enjoying the sights. One of the highlights was the hay had just been cut, literally that morning by someone who I went to school with. If OH had been with me I couldn't have loitered to enjoyed this sight but on my own I was able to savour it all up. I especially enjoyed watching the gulls flying over the freshly cut grass. Here are my favourite pics.<br />

I've loads to share but for some reason I've been struggling to put a blog post together. But here we now are and I first want us to go back to June when I took the week off to visit my folks up North. The weather was glorious and it's rare for me to visit in the Summer. Everything was so green! So I dragged my mum for a walk down into the woods which are at the bottom of the valley. It's one of my favourite walks and always takes me back to being a kid again.<br />

There is a picture of me swimming here as a toddler. I think it was in '76 when there was a heat wave. Water was short so an easy option was to wash in the river !! </div>

The highlight of this walk is this cute bridge down at the bottom. It's too steep to go down to the river but I love peering over the sides to see the bridge in all it's glory. </div>

The only downside to the walk is the climb back up which we took at a steady pace. I'd say that was for my mum's benefit but I'd of course be lying as she's probably fitter than I am! </div>

We then walked through the fields which link the woods through to the wood. I love these gate posts with their inscription from I think 1863 but it could also be 1683. Either way the path we were taking took us up to Carter Ground so was good to see that they've marked their terratory. </div>

The woods on the other side are completely different as it's full of connifers which seem to be devoid of a life. If you come in the winter they are earily quiet but with so many trees having blown over nature is taking it back and there were some signs of life. </div>

OH asked me what I wanted and to be honest I didn't want anything material - I've reached that age where I have everything I really need. So I asked if he would take me to Great Dixter. This is my happy place, the place that sings to my soul and still makes me smile no matter how often I've been. OH hates it, gardens really aren't his thing but getting there without a car is challenging so he agreed to take me. I can't express how happy this place makes me, even with a grumpy man in tow, the colours were incredible despite the wind.<br />

My birthday fell on the Wednesday so I figured it wouldn't be as crazy as it may have been over the weekend. The weather was perfect and the crowds weren't half as bad as I thought but I must admit it was a bit of a rugby scrum to see the gardens. So I've divided the post into two first showing you the gardens then inside the Great Pavillion</span><br />

I hadn't made any plans and decided to follow my mum and her friend who have both been before. The crowds weren't too bad but it was a bit of a rugby scrum to see the gardens. I felt like I was in the pub and the queue was three people deep - you know that feeling right? Anyway first up (above) was the RHS garden - you can just see the H under the arch.... </div>

This was called the Green Switch and is a place for the designer, Mr Ishihara who comes over from Japan every year, to relax. The building in the back is a shower room and the building in the front was a place to listen to music with a space below for his motor bike. Again I'd seen this one on the TV and was suprised by how small it was! </div>

This one was sponsored by Dubai and I really liked the water feature and planting but was a bit too arid for my liking. </div>

Now above and two below was my favourite, and I think it was one of my mum's and her friend's favourites too but the pictures aren't that great. It was a garden for kids, the Montessori Centenary Children's garden to be precise and I thought it was wonderful </div>

This one was sponsored by Facebook and had actual waves as if you were by the shoreline. I think the idea is to try and get people to look away from their screens for a time (says the lady writing a post about this online in the hope you'll read it!). I did like this but hadn't realised at the time it was the Facebook garden. </div>

Above was Andy Sturgeon's M&G garden which was very green. At the time Angelica Bell was filming towards the bottom of the garden which created a huge crowd, and then just as we had found a small space to see into the garden the designer turned up with a large group of people so we really didn't get to appreciate this one much. </div>

Now what about Kate's garden I hear you cry. Yes the Duchess had a garden which had a lot of hype but the hype meant EVERYONE wanted to see it and as it was the only garden you could walk through the queue was huge so we gave it a wide berth. So there you have it - I don't think I've covered all the gardens but you get the idea. I had such a lovely day and it's inpsired me to buy a ticket for Hampton Court Flower Show in July so I can compare the two! </div>

We had hoped to go over the Easter Bank Holiday but due to engineering works we had to turn around and wait for another day to make the journey out to Kew. The weather wasn't as kind as it had been over the Easter Weekend but we saw the sunshine throughout the day, alongside rain and hail at the end of the day. But here is a selection of what we saw:<br />

I can't believe that it took me so long to post about the US but there was so much to share! My trip back from the States was marred by a cancelled flight resulting in a 24 hour delay and going back home via LA which isn't even heading in the right direction! I was lucky when I did finally get back as after a really long 15 hour sleep I wasn't really affected by the jet lag. Due to the delay I had an extra day to myself so I grabbed the camera and went for a wander through my favourite Brockwell Park to enjoy the blossom and spring colour. This was a couple of weeks ago now but I hope you enjoy what I saw.<br />

The most modern buildings I saw were around the rail yard but their height was still pretty small. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So there we have it. I'm not sure if I've done Santa Fe justice as there were so many amazing buildings but you get the idea! </div>

AND the train was a triple decker! Of course I dragged my suitcase to the top of the train, I'm like a big kid when it comes to trains with more than one deck and sat enjoying the landscape go by. It was so different to what I'm used to seeing, it was truly amazing. Here are my images starting out at the station and taken along the route through to the beautiful Santa Fe. Enjoy!<br />

I first went to New Mexico as a teenager with my parents travelling around the Four States (Colorado, Arizona, Utah and New Mexcio). At the time Prefab Sprout's song '<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T6e3GJCjow">The King of Rock n Roll</a>' was in the charts with these unique lyrics. I remember my excitment back then when I was signs for what felt like the mythical 'Albuquerque'. Like the Sears Tower in Chicago I finally made it to Albuquerque (ABQ) thirty years later to attend a conference for work, the whole point of the trip.<br />

Now admittedly I spent my days inside a conference hall and in the evenings I was so tired I went home and collapsed on the sofa with a take away. However I wasn't enamoured by ABQ. It wasn't helped that my only other reference for ABQ was the wonderful series Breaking Bad which was set here. This was a series set around Crystal Meth production,drug dealers and violence so despite living in Brixton, London I found I was a little nervous and avoided going out at night! </div>

So there we go, ABQ, sorry it's not much but is at least a reflection of what I saw. The next post will be more exciting, I promise. We're going on a rail trip :) </div>

I'd been to Chicago once before. It was my first trip to America and my dad and I were heading for Denver to meet up with my mum who was already out in the States but we had an 8 hour in Chicago. After we landed dad hailed a cab and we drove down the freeway to the Sears Tower which was then, in the 1980s, the tallest building in the world. We got out of the cab, looked up in awe then got back into the cab to go back to the airport. Looking back we must have been shattered and we were only half way through our journey. Anyway 30 years on I actually went up the Sears Tower (yes I know it's now called the Willis Tower but to me, and everyone in Chicago it seems, it's still called the Sears Tower). The views were spectacular.<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">A recent addition to the Sears Tower was 'The Edge' which is a glass box you can step onto and literally look down. You only got a minute so the images aren't well composed but you get the idea. And bizarrely I wasn't afraid despite been very, very high. </span><br />

Michelle had also suggested we popped into see the Tiffany Dome which was amazing. The Building it's in is now a cultural centre and free to enter. The Dome was pretty amazing if twee and impossible to photograph and do it justice. </div>

And our final trip was another suggestion by Michelle. It was to take the Loop on the Brown Line L train. We had seen the track meander through the city at ground level but it was great to get another view from the tracks. </div>

So they we have it, our short break in Chicago. It was short as I had to go onto New Mexico to attend a conference for work but I can honestly say I loved Chicago. It was full of surprises and beauty and I would certainly love to go back to explore more.</div>

I've mentioned Michelle in previous in posts as we met in line waiting for day tickets to the Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty exhibition at the V&A and we've been firm friends ever since, despite a 20 year age gap! And we've met up several times in the past year in New York, London x2 and now in Chicago. In fact I've seen her more often than some of my friends who live in the UK in the past year!<br />

Michelle's friend works there and kindly arranged for us to get in for free. She also gave us a wonderful tour of the show she had helped to put together 'Silver Screen to Mainstream: American Fashion in the 1930s and 40s' which was really interesting and I learnt a lot but I completely forgot to take photos! </div>

As I alluded in the previous post I wasn't expecting such amazing architecture in Chicago. Whenever I told people I was going to Chicago the one thing everyone seemed to say was 'go on the architectural boat tour'. So before we left the UK I booked us onto a tour which set off from the Navy Pier located on the edge of Lake Michigan.</div>

I should also add that the Ferris Wheel aludes to the ferris wheel which was first seen at the Chicago World Fair which took place in 1893. The previous city to hold the fair was Paris where they introduced the Eiffel Tower so the Ferris Wheel was meant to compete with this. </div>

But the reason why we were at Navy Pier was to pick up the boat for an absolutely amazing couple of hours going through so many different architectural styles dating back to early 20th Century to the present day. I hope you enjoy some of my favourite views! </div>

This year I was due to attend a conference in Albuquerque. That's not Chicago I hear you cry, and yes, you are right it's not even in the right State but there are no direct flights to Albuquerque and one route was to go via Chicago so I dragged OH with me and we set off to the Windy City in attempt to get over my jet lag.<br />

I wasn't sure what to expect in Chicago but I wasn't expecting quite so many old buildings! This incredible structure is the old water tower dating back to 1861 and was the first landmark we saw on our trip. </div>

When I think of America I don't think old, which is obviously naive of me and in Chicago they celebrate their heritage, nestled next to the new as you can see from another part of the Water Tower above and part of a church close by below. </div>

This is a cigar box guitar by Bo Diddley. Chess Records also inspired the Rolling Stones who loved the Blues as teenagers. They even got their name from a Muddy Waters song and recorded at Chess Records in the 60s. </div>

The Chess Records Building is now the <a href="http://www.bluesheaven.com/" target="_blank">Willie Dixon Foundation</a> and they give tours during the afternoon on certain days (if you're going check their opening times). After visiting the office where all the contracts were signed you then went into a kind of Chess Records Hall of Fame. The guide talked about Howlin Wolf, Muddy, John Lee Hooker, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry amongst others and I was getting a little anxious that there was no mention of all of the wonderful women who sang on Chess until he mentioned Koko Taylor. One of my favourite female singers ! But it was sad that only one female singer was mentioned downstairs. </div>

If you don't know anything about Chess Records check out their back catalogue. You won't be disappointed. And if you are in Chicago spend a couple of hours in this wonderful building learning about a key part of Chicago and America's heritage. I was certainly in Blues Heaven and it was literally a dream come true for me! </div>

The forecast for the weekend was spectacular so OH and I decided to go on a road trip. I suggested Hever Castle which I have visited before but a long time ago.<br />

After drooling over the orchids I made OH wander back through the Alpine House as I love the dinky alpine flowers though on reflection I realise I needed to have something to give you some idea of scale. </div>

It was a flying visit as we had to rush back to make dinner (we hadn't factored in the 50 minute wait in line) but I did capture these magical snowball flowers. Truly magical </div>

This year for the first time ever we had to queue at Kew, and I'm not talking a short queue, it was a good 50 minute in a line that snaked around the wooded area near the Princess Diana conservatory where the festival is held. Whilst in line I was thinking of the hoards of people that must already be inside, in the past years if you go at the weekend it can be a bit of a rugby scrum which does spoil the experience if I'm honest. But not this year, when it was finally our turn to wander in I was amazed by the lack of crowds and the calmness of the experience. And the colours! Oh my it was a riot of colour. Of course there were flowers I swore I had never seen before but looking back on previous years there they are, faithful as ever. But that's the magic of this festival it looks fresh and new every year you swear you had never seen it before. Anyway enjoy!<br />
