I've been really bad this summer.
Well as you can probably see, I've cheated on Spain with Munich & Vienna, then China, and now England.
I've just returned from an exhilarating 9 day roadtrip all around southern England, leaving my footprints on 19 towns/cities in 7 counties. What's more, I got to meet up with my relatives who live there. It was just awesome. I had a great time!
I loved the vast green fields, the puffy clouds in the sky, the smell of freshly baked scones with clotted cream wafting through the air, the charming little English cottages, etc. etc. etc...!!!
Here're some of the pictures. Enjoy!
