I would like to share some photo's of my trip to UK. Some of you knew that I was going away on vacation for three and a half weeks to visit my hubby's family and relatives. We had been going out just about everyday and we had a great time. Now we are back home in Australia.

Happy browsing. :)

My hubby and me on a brand new 57' long luxury boat cost about $2million (in Aust $). Hubby's brother works in the boat industry and invites us for a ride before it goes to the new owner. It was a blast!

I never been to Cornwall, but went to Plymouth, and Dartmour with school trip years ago!! Lucky the weather was blast for your trip and pleased to know you arrived here one piece!!

Love at English Pub's hanging flower plants, off I go to start put some bulbs/seeds out for forthcoming spring here soon.

Doc Martin's on a hill looks like a Liliput Lane houses as I used to collect little houses ornaments.

*nodding agreement* I has the same feeling... I was born and raise in England.

I went to Plymouth often and Cornwall once. My Uncle own 3 Guesthouses there in Plymouth. My Uncle will celebrate his 70th birthday party next March 17th, 2007 and want us there. My hubby & boys never see Plymouth and Cornwall before. We can´t promise that we will attend his birthday party. We will celebrate Danny´s Confirmation on April 20th, 2007.

Koala, wow you & your hubby are such lovely couple... wow, you travel half world to England from Australia. How do you feel when you left England for go back to Australia?

All what I want to say is I miss English atmopshere when I see the pictures here and especially English Breakfast...

Thanks for sharing with us!

You sure enjoyed vacation up there.

Aww, I hope the pics doesn't make you homesick.
 
Everyone, thanks for your nice comment about my photos. Yes they are beautiful.
 
Beautiful pictures you got there! Thanks for sharing them with us :)

I went to Scotland several years ago with my parents and we travelled to London, England on a train. We saw some beautiful countrysides while riding on the train.
 
Oh, that boat is mine. It's Searay. I paid it. I am surprised that you used my boat. :giggle:

What really nice trips! My father went to England to work at Pratt & Whitney for one month. He is retired now back home in New England, not in England.
 
Very beautiful, Koala ! I like that one with the flowers on the outside wall -- # 5 pic. They are sooo beautiful ! I am glad you shared 'em with us. Many thanks ! :D
 
Those are amazing photos that you shared with us all! It's always been one of my dream to go to Europe one of these days. The scenery photos took my breath away and it is really spectactular!!
