Ireland

I've just returned from the lovely country of Ireland.  I went there with my boyfriend for his sister's wedding and had a wonderful time!  Photos below...

Windermere

I've just returned from Windermere.  I went there with my boyfriend to help him with his qualifying swim for his English Channel swim in September.  (I had to feed him gels and bananas periodically.)  He swam for 6 hrs. in the lake.  I was so proud of him and enjoyed spending time in the beautiful Lake District!

(That man in the water is my boyfriend.)

brooms everywhere!

Love this photo of people with brooms cleaning up the London riots!  It's touching to see people coming together to rebuild London's communities after the terrible devastation of the past few nights.

Somewhere over the rainbow...

boyfriend = salad?

Sometimes my boyfriend likes to pretend that he's an Italian salad...
