The Dinky Doors Of Cambridge, England

Portals into another dimension? Teleportation from one area to another? Props for a science fiction television show or fairy doors? When one sees the Dinky Doors of Cambridge, England, the tiny doors stir the imagination and delight both young and old. On my most recent trip to Cambridge, I enjoyed venturing out in different directions…

A Busker’s Perseverance

Busker is another word for a street performer. I’ve seen buskers singing and playing musical instruments. Buskers sometimes also create art in some form to entertain on the street. During a trip to England I had a chance to observe one such busker who transforms sand into dog sculptures on Petty Cury just outside the…

Windows, So Many Windows!

I was looking over photos I took during my last trip to England and noticed that I had several photos of windows. They are not all the same style and each have their own beauty. They are everywhere. It is interesting to think about the number of windows one sees during a lifetime, or even…

If Trees Could Talk

Do you ever think about trees?  Trees are all shapes and sizes and color and if they could talk I believe they would tell us a lot as so much life happens around them.   When I was in England, I was drawn to the trees there.  In Cambridge, there is a place called Christ’s…

Stone Wall Beauty

What do you think of when you see a hedge, a fence, or a stone wall?   Boundary lines to keep something in or something out?  How many hands were involved in the making of a stone wall?   How much history is there in a stone wall?  When you see a stone wall, do…

I had a list of things that I wanted to see when I visited London.   One of the things that was important for me to see was a 30 foot bronze statue called “The Meeting Place” sculpted by Paul Day.   (I’ve also seen where this sculpture was called “The Kiss” and also “The…

A Bit of Fluff and A Batch of Biscuits

Growing up, there was always a jar or tub of Marshmallow Fluff in my mother’s kitchen.  We grew up eating fluffernutter sandwiches for lunch.   For those of you not from New England, you may not know what a fluffernutter is.  A fluffernutter is a sandwich with Marshmallow Fluff and peanut butter. My mother always…

Houghton Ducks Thatched, Not Hatched

On my recent trip to England I went to Houghton, a village on the banks of the Great Ouse River in Cambridgeshire. The homes are so beautiful and different from what I am used to. I especially love the houses with thatched roofs.  They look so cozy and inviting.  Someday I would like to have…
