Caridad Loves a Foggy Day in London

Like many of you, I am itching for things to change so that I can travel again. I have a number of places on my bucket list, including a city I’ve been able to visit a number of times: London. The first time was actually on a business trip where I had a short two day stay. The next was a little longer, like four days. That was during one of those weird NJ teacher breaks and the round-trip airfare to London was cheaper than flying to Florida! The last time was when my daughter was there for study abroad. Mama Bear that I am, I couldn’t be without my daughter for six months so we visited her when she had an Easter break from school. We had a lot of fun and got to see a lot of London. A very nice city with incredibly pleasant and funny people!

Today you can take an armchair visit to London with these photos I’m sharing. You can also go to VisitLondon.com for more information!

P.S. – As you can see from the photos, we didn’t have a foggy day. In fact, we usually had really nice weather, even the first two times when I visited in November!

Happy Spring Decorating

I have found that between retiring from my day job and the pandemic I have done a lot more decorating in and around the house. I always did some decorating for Christmas, but now it’s all the major holidays. Hearts and other things up for Valentine’s Day. A quick little smattering of shamrocks for St. Patrick’s day. Much more for Easter with a combination of cold-hardy flowers, Easter eggs, and other items. It takes a little time, but I find that it makes me so much cheerier. Here’s a quick shot of my spring flowers and some of the decorating!Spring decorating

Excited about spring! Just 1 day away!

Caridad’s Thoughts on Spring

I am so not a fan of winter! I hate the cold and miss being able to plant and eat tomatoes straight from my garden. But there’s only one more day until Spring is here and I can’t wait. I’ve already got seedlings started and have put in a few cold-hardy plants. In a little over a month, I’ll be planting flowers and vegetables and eagerly waiting for tomatoes fresh off the vine with some fresh basil from my garden.

I also can’t wait for spring because that means summer is not far behind. Summer is my absolute fav time of year. I love spending time underneath my beach umbrella, reading a good romance novel. I love taking long strolls along the boardwalk as well. I often brainstorm a new book as I stroll which is a good thing!

What about you? Do you love to garden? Do you love spring and summer? If you can’t wait until the flowers are up, check out my photo gallery with images from some past Philadelphia Flower Show photos!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from a Celt

Although my parents, siblings, and I were all born in Cuba, my grandparents all came from Galicia, a province in the north of Spain. This area of Spain was home to many Celts and some theorize that Celts actually originated in this area and spread throughout Europe and to Ireland. As in Ireland, bagpipes are also quite common in Galicia. When my sister did her DNA test, it revealed that she was about 18% Irish, a further testament to the connections between Galicia, Ireland, and the Celts! So this Celt is wishing everyone a very happy St. Patrick’s Day!

#TravelTuesday – Biltmore Estate, North Carolina

I love to travel and am looking forward to when pandemic restrictions are lifted so that I can do some traveling. I thought I’d share with you a place I’ve been lucky enough to visit: the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina. It is America’s largest home and the grounds around the home are amazing! If you either love history, gardens, nature, antiques, or wine, you may want to visit. There are charges for going on the grounds, but I thought it was worth the cost because there was so much to do! We visited the house, strolled through the gardens, conservatory, village, and did a wine tasting. You have to schedule the wine tasting, but it was worth it! We treated ourselves to a few of the wines and just had the first bottle the other night. We were not disappointed! Today I’m sharing some photos of our trip and I hope you will visit. I know I plan on visiting again since the Biltmore will change with every season.

#MatineeMonday – Behind Her Eyes on Netflix

Like many I’ve been doing some binge-watching and one of the shows that came up was Behind Her Eyes on Netflix. Hubby and I started watching it, but I’d love to get your take on it! No spoilers please.
