Gorgeous! Makes me want to go even more!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to be surrounded by books. I hardly read much anymore as slowly but surely the internet has taken over my life.. sadly, I suppose. But I enjoy flipping the pages of a book and seeing what pops out at me.
ReplyDeleteAnd that chairs look so comfy too.
Have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteLooks like you're having a wonderful time Jeanne. And that looks like my kind of bookstore!
ReplyDeleteOnce again I must tell you how much I enjoy your blog and look forward to it every day. It (and you) seem so real, and I imagine spending time with you. As it is, I glimpse your world which you present so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteLove your photos, and that chair looks very comfy.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course photos of Auckland, I know I'm biased, but I sure do live in a beautiful city
Dear Jeanne, it is so refreshing to see (and not just to think) that there is not only one way to look at things/events/the world: the simple fact that you have winter now - and we in Europe are sitting languidly in a heat wave - brings everything into perspective. Life is beautiful and so full of wonders - as your gorgeous pictures - that I am just full of gratitude! Britta
ReplyDeleteJust perfect and beautiful, Jeanne. It sounds as if you are having the most wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteHave the time of your life and enjoy every minute. XXXX

Glenda

You're playing my tune, Jeanne. This all looks just blissful. Hope you're having a great time. Meredy xo.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous images Jeanne. I so hope you're having an amazing trip, and the mixed feelings are not so mixed anymore. Amanda
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your very kind comments and well wishes. They truly make my day. I haven't had a chance to use my camera since that day which makes the post extra special to me. I will enjoy looking back on it. Days are filled with friends and more friends and a visit to our house :(.. at this point I think of the English phrase Keep Calm and Carry On :)
ReplyDeleteI am missing reading everyone's blogs, I am going to take a day next week and just sit and relax and read all your lovely inspirations...look forward to it!!
