simply timeless

In three months time I have experienced and seen some of the most amazing sites. Places I had only dreamed and hoped to see, never in my wildest dreams did I believe I would have had this opportunity. Thank you to all who made it possible for me to come to England. And thank you to those who have warmly embraced me here and helped make me feel at home. I will never forget your kindness. England will forever have a dear place in my heart. There is still so much more to see, so I definitely will be back! (and hopefully won't be sick at all the next time!) Time to get back to reality and work. Very excited to see my family and friends!! Here are some of the pictures from Thursday in the Netherlands, and then a few from our drive home  we stopped in Brogue . And Saturday I had the great privileged of going into London to spend the day with Christy. I had such a great time walking around parts I had  yet to see and getting to talk and get to know Christy more. I feel so blessed to

There were a few places that A&C wanted to see. Sadly most of our day turned out not as planned as we missed when things started, or things were closed. So we spend most of the day in the car. I managed a few shots as we were driving. Not the greatest but at least it is an idea of what it looks like here. I just enjoyed taking it all in and reflecting on what life would have been like when my grandparents lived here.    We only made it into the city limits of Amsterdam as we needed to turn around for the next destination, but at least I can say I have been there!

To end my time in the UK I have been given the gift of spending a week in the Netherlands.  You know how you dream & plan in your teens of all the things you are going to see in your life, when you are older....and the people you plan to see them with feel as though they are a definite thing. Funny how things don't turn out even close to how you planned them. Life seems to throw you into a rat race and you aren't even sure that you signed up for it, it just sort of happens. In an naive way a part of me still hopes that some of those dreams come true to travel the world (and when I say world I mean Europe and Canada, haha) with the ones I always pictured myself experiencing it with. But for now, I will take what I can get, with a heart full of joy and gratitude, for this adventure I have been blessed to have. So here I am. In the Netherlands. A place that holds my heritage. Where a young couple met, feel in love, married and embarked on a brave journey to

It's bothersome when many thoughts are heavy and are on my mind all at the same time. Ideas, challenges, conversation, that I need to verbalize in order to process; yet I find myself feeling overwhelmed and rather restless to sort it all out. My mind is attempting to process all sorts of thoughts and conversations had with people, that I find intriguing and challenging.  I need to learn the art of disciplining myself to sit and focus on what I really want to do, and not let being overwhelmed stop me.  Stay tuned, for what I hope to be, posts that get you thinking too....
