A Visit to the Bluebell Woods


 
Hello everyone,
I want to introduce you to a special lady - Janice of the Bluebell Woods.  The pretty picture above is the banner from one of her blogs. Janice actually has 3 blogs, Bluebell Woods, English Spirit's Pretty Things and My Garden Journal. Janice lives in Michigan, but she's originally from England. On her blog profile, she says, "England will always be home to my heart, but I do love Michigan." I met her years ago on a now defunct social networking site for people over fifty called Eons. Janice was the manager of a group called "All Things British." Since I'm a confirmed Anglophile, I joined the group and she and I became online friends. Later, we also connected on facebook and through our blogs. I admire Janice very much. You see, a couple of years ago when her granddaughter was tragically killed in an automobile accident, Janice and her husband took in her young son to raise. At an age when most women are relaxing and settling into retirement,  Janice is dealing with potty training and preschool. So, she blogs about the joys and challenges of raising a toddler.  

 
This is Janice's adorable great-grandson, Tristen
 
 
She also blogs about nature and gardening...
 
 
...and her memories of growing up in England and all things British.
 

 
I would love it if you'd stop by Janice's blog and say hello, and she would greatly appreciate it, too! You can find it by clicking HERE or click on her bluebell woods banner above. I think you'll enjoy your visit! Thank you very much!
 
Until next time,
Cindy

Janice is one example of a strong woman. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month and strong women everywhere, I'm linking this to Breast Cancer Awareness Pink Saturday on How Sweet the Sound.

Christmas in England ~

No ~ I'm not traveling abroad for the holiday, although seeing these photos makes me wish I were! I stumbled upon this website called "Pictures of England," a while ago, and for an Anglophile like me, it was like finding a gold mine!  There are thousands of photos on it, of every part of England, with categories such as "Picturesque Villages," "Castles," "Village Scenes," "Pubs" and much, much more. You can visit the website by clicking HERE.  The one of the carolers makes me feel like I've stepped back in time.  Enjoy!

Until next time,
Cindy
