London. I know. I know. It's been a while since I've been back to share some scenery from my time in London. If you're a regular to my blog, then you know that shortly after I returned from the United Kingdom, my oldest teen graduated from high school. Then the youngest and I traveled to [...]
London. On my most recent travels to the UK, I visited London for the first time. We only had two days in London, but they were two full days....and, boy did we fill them!! Doors. I knew that I would find a plethora of beautiful architecture in London, which would also include some amazing doors. [...]
Photography Series. I've been enjoying creating these photography series. They seem the best way to showcase the photos that I'd like to share with all of you. I have shared many doors since discovering Norm's (host of Thursday Doors) blog. I shared in last week's Friday Faves that my mother and I would be traveling [...]
Royal Yacht Britannia. With all this talk of Royal weddings, I thought that today we'd visit the Royal Yacht Britannia. The Royal Yacht Britannia served the Royal Family from 1954 until it was decommissioned in 1997. It traveled over 1,000,000 during that time span. But you may already know those facts. Indeed, it's likely that [...]
Royal Yacht Britannia. A few weeks ago I shared photos of some of the doors to be found on the Royal Yacht Britannia. If you missed that post on the Britannia, you can find it here. I found the views from the yacht to be beautiful. The yacht itself with its wood accents and attention [...]
Royal Yacht Britannia. When I shared some photographs from my time at Holyrood Abbey in Edinburgh in this post, I also mentioned that we had purchased the 48-hour Royal Edinburgh ticket for the hop-on hop-off bus tours. We went that route because it included fast-track admission into Edinburgh Castle, The Palace Of Holyroodhouse, and The [...]
Prisons of War. One of the exhibitions at Edinburgh Castle is the prisons of war exhibition. It's located within Dury's Battery, which is at the top of the hill past the Royal Scots Museum. The re-creation shows what life was like for the prisoners of war. Prison Doors. Of course, I found the prison doors [...]
Going Back To My Roots. An Ancestral Journey to Airdrie, Scotland. Today is my mama's birthday!! The one who nurtured me in her womb. And the one who labored to bring me into this world. The one who cradled me in her arms. She is the one who whispered words of strength into my [...]
Tour of the Cloisters. The University of Glasgow. As promised in yesterday's post, where we toured the exterior of the Gilbert Scott Building at the University of Glasgow, today we enter through the doors to see what was found on the other side. I had a hard time narrowing down the photos as this was [...]
National Museum of Scotland. Time. "Time and tide waits for no man" Or as my husband is fond of saying: "Time waits for no one." The Millennium Clock. The museum label for The Millennium Clock states that it the clock was made in Glasgow in 1999. It is a collaborative effort of sculptor-mechanic Eduard Bersudsky, sculptor-furniture maker [...]
