Glorious Colorado

The weather at the weekend was glorious. It reminded me of an English Summers Day, not too hot but perfect for being outside. We decided to go to one of my favourite places, I like to call it Pooh Stick Bridge, (in honor of Winnie the Pooh's wonderful game). Interestingly, in England we lived in Ashdown Forest, East Sussex. That is where Winnie the Pooh lives or at least where A.A.Milne, (the author) decided his adventures would take place. They have a Winnie the Pooh shop in the village and the local Hotel does Winnie the Pooh afternoon tea - honey sandwiches and lemonade. Anyway, I digress.......we went to my new Pooh Bridge, with bikes in tow and had a lazy afternoon just enjoying the sun.

There was some paddling........

There was a bit of pondering.......

There was some bike riding.............

There was some perfect photo ops.............

Whheeeee.............

And there was some perfect 'just being' time......

Will I ever be able to give up the big, blue skies of Colorado. Will I ever be able to return back to the grey, cloudy skies of London Town. I am not sure.........not today at least!!

  2. oh....looks like it was a lovely time!! The photos are precious. Colorado is on my list of places to see - haven't been there yet. You've convinced me to get it on to the shortlist!

  3. I am so envious of your weather!!! As of yet, we still have snow on the ground. We are supposed to get a snow/rain mix coming. Winter just does not want to leave Wisconsin. Colorado (as well as England and Wales) are on my list of must-sees. Did you know that our new development, the streets all have English names. ;) Edenburgh, Sussex, Derby to name a few... :)
