 I'm Currently in the United Kingdom :D Hello June! I hope your having fun & traveling well. These past few weeks I have (actually updated the blog) been traveling around Texas showing the sites to my visiting British friend. We have had a few awesome adventures, seen some odd shit and had overall a great visit. The weather was horrible with Texas getting record amounts of rain fall! #WTF? But between making a trip to the high desert, shopping and hanging out with my friends we barely noticed the rain storms. As I update this I ask myself, "How is it the year is now 1/2 over?" It seems like 2015 just started? So much has happened and so many people have touched my life this year. (More about that later-) I'm excited that for the next few months I will be in Europe exploring and reconnecting with my friends there. I miss my state side friends when in Europe and my European friends when in the states.. #CantWin :( There is a Scotland trip planned for next month with a visit to the outer islands and then I return to France in September for more adventures. I have no idea where we will be for Christmas or new Years Eve, but guess we better start planning now if we are going to book a place. #TooMuch2DO But I think for now I'm just gonna chill and visit the Lake District proper.  It may be cooler, but the view is divine!  And if you are really bored...you can follow me on Dayre - (It's not always the same things I post on here.) And truthfully I update more raw minute by minute on Dayre. #ImJustSayin

Sidewalk                The Tower      Subway :D    next post will continue us in Black Pool ~  HiYA!  *Warning another picture heavy post* We returned to London as I had business to finish up. (We were here on December 2nd for a few days. We left for a weekend in Wiltshire and a nice week long stay in Bath.) click to read what I have posted so far...Much more to come as I sort the pictures.  Our View!   My London Adventure Continues  High street   I like that small funky shops are mixed in with the high- end retailers. You never know what treasure your going to find. #BreakingBad There also cafes, pubs, clubs and markets scattered about.    Shopping at whole foods.   Bought much more, but forgot to take pictures,    There is a sign that reads "no pictures" is that a challenge or what?       Cow~    High street    Inside Kennington gardens.  Where?      "look! A tree!" We enjoyed a picnic lunch despite the cooler temps.   & Relaxed a bit~      Happy Hoilday decor!    I attempted to book a last minute holiday apartment on line.  This was our place :D   Its Never a easy tasks and much more difficult during the holiday season. Incredibly two apartment mangers tried to tell me they were full, but just come over & bring cash. (Raised eyebrows at that..) and of course I didn't do. If you will not take a secure credit card payment on line, then your not going to get my business. Thankfully I finally found a open one that didn't try to squeeze more cash out of me. After the other two I admit to being dubious about it. To my surprise it was in a fantastic, safe neighborhood and was quite spacious for a center of London studio.   2 full beds!   I was able to cook! YESSSSSSS~  I booked this car service & it was great!  It was really good trip!  Whole Foods Loot!  view ;D  Packed up for adventures!  Ready - set - go! Happy holidays & talk soon!
 We spent a fun weekend exploring Wiltshire (England) earlier in Dec  "Wiltshire is a county in South West England with an area of 3,485 km2 (1,346 square miles).[2] It is landlocked and borders the counties of Dorset, Somerset, Hampshire, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshireand Berkshire. Until 1930 the county town was Wilton but Wiltshire Council is now based at Trowbridge. Wiltshire is characterised by its high downland and wide valleys. Salisbury Plain is famous as the location of the Stonehenge and Avebury stone circles and other ancient landmarks and as a training area for the British Army. The city of Salisbury is notable for its mediaeval cathedral. Important country houses open to the public include Longleat, near Warminster, and the National Trust's Stourhead, near Mere." --WIKI I left the links active if you want to read more about them.     Down town Wilton   I was told over & over to go see this church - so I did  WOW~             There isn't much information that I could find on this church, "The history of Wilton dates back to the Anglo-Saxons in the 8th century AD, and by the late 9th century it was the capital of Wiltunscire, a shire (or 'share') of the Kingdom of Wessex. It remained the administrative centre of Wiltshire until the 11th century. Wilton was of significant importance to the church, with the founding of Wilton Abbey in AD 771 and a number of other establishments. In AD 871 Alfred the Great fought and lost an important battle there against the Danish armies, leaving him in retreat for several years. Despite further attacks, Wilton remained a prosperous town, as recorded in the Domesday book. The building of Salisbury Cathedral nearby, however, caused Wilton's decline, as the new site of Salisbury, with a new bridge over the River Avon, provided a convenient bypass around Wilton on the trade routes. Wilton Abbey was surrendered to Henry VIII in 1539 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and in 1541 much of the estate was granted to the Earl of Pembroke, upon which Wilton House was built" - wiki  I was already told it was closed - for repairs :(  We have already done all the "must see sights" listed above.  A quick walk to look at all the pretty trees!     Love the super clear water!    A quick bite :D   Still at it!  Back to the pub :D  For a tea break :D   We left for a week @ Bath - UK  Taken on the train ride to Bath :D    I always say Im going to take pict of all the stops & never do-  I still have to write about Salisbury yet...so there will be a part 3.
