I am only an hour away from Oxford. It's a beautiful, historic city. The snowdrops are exciting to see as we always know Spring is on its way! Beautiful artwork. Enjoy Christmas!

Thank you so much for your comment, Nicki! How lovely that you're based so close to Oxford, and I love that glimpsing snowdrops is a regular part of your winter rituals :) What a beautiful sign that spring is just around the corner 🤍

That is an excellent question, Rose, and I think if I had the chance to live in another time period, I definitely would jump at the chance to sit at the same table as C.S. Lewis :) Hope you're having a beautiful holiday season! 🤍✨

On my occasional trips through London, I always took time to visit Westminster Abbey. Once, on a return from Africa, I spent a few hours finding the final resting places of early African explorers, including David Livingstone. I also visited smaller churches, such as the Salisbury Cathedral and enjoyed the garden there.

But is there anything more jubilantly more colorful than the Dutch tulip fields in springtime, especially when flying over them for a landing at Schipol Airport?

Yes! One of the things that most excited me about living in Belgium is being so close to the tulip fields and getting to make them part of our springtime rituals. Love that you've glimpsed them from above! 🙌
