With a big warm heart you always spread so much warmth, joy and kindness both in my comment section and in the blog universe as a whole. You're a star. I want to thank you so much for all the beauty you share with us here on your blog. Your photo is always stunning and your posts interesting. I love how I always learn something new, get to visit new and exciting places and how you often make me think and reflect. I'm so thankful for having such a dear blog friend in my life and even though I'm now leaving the blog world I'll of course continue to come in here and see how you are and to be inspired by your posts.♥<br /><br />All the best of luck for the future sweet Rosemary and have a lovely summer.♥<br /><br />Charlie<br />xxThe Swedish Wildflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12398720793193804220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-28852518219223222642017-07-19T21:29:07.799+01:002017-07-19T21:29:07.799+01:00That is a beautiful house and garden, I do hope yo...That is a beautiful house and garden, I do hope you will manage a longer visit there next time.
