Magical.

we walked by a dumpster with a lid that had been burned in the middle, I thought it was almost beautiful.

I saw a dragon, Jon saw a fish. Does that say something about us?

In the middle of our Portsmouth stay we decided to splurge (well, our version of splurge) and go to Bath for a night. I was there years ago and knew that Jon would love it, Bath is such an elegant city. We payed for a room on the river, close to the train station with “lovely views.”

room with a view?

the view if you open the window and lean half of your body out. It was worth it, I love the weird head next to the beautiful bird.

lovely Bath

Ok, staying with Micha and Jayne spoiled us rotten. Gorgeous front garden, big Victorian house, dinners cooked by Micha himself and tons of laughter.

Yes, it was as cute as the name. My favourite part? Walking on country lanes through the fields and hills, Jon and I saw a hot air balloon trying to land in a field close by. I hiked up skirts and we ran toward the field. What could be better than chasing after a hot air balloon down a beautiful english lane?

Our new friends took us to Old Waldour castle. I’ve been in exquisite castles and grand english homes but I think old ruined castles are much more romantic and provide great “scope for the imagination.”
