Wishing you a Happy Week ~ ^_^

And...we tried climbing to the top of Snowden in 2006. It was such a windy day we had to turn back. We stayed in Conwy which was great. Thanks for the memories in your slide show!

why is "quaint" sometimes pejorative?

Absolutely wonderful!
Incidentally my word is Quaint too this week:)

Quaint it is, Leslie:) Am glad you didn't choose queer. Sorry, that naughty streak of mine just popped out. Thanks for visiting me today!

You certainly have enjoyed your stay in Wales, which is so interesting and quaint, that I can feel the Jane Austin atmosphere in the old villages and small towns. I've read all Jane Austin's novels most of them were set in castles and beautiful mansions.

I enjoyed your quaint photographs in the quietness of my studio. Blessings, my friend!

Hi leslie,
love the bobby on the opening page, They don't often wear the big
helmets on duty now. He looks like the laughing policeman at the fairground.
I loved the Jane Austen Museum, I would love to visit that,
maybe I will on one of our travels.
Conwy used to be a favourite vising spot on days out with our parents
when we were small, that little Welsh lady was standing out side of
her small house all those years ago. She's wearing well!
Nice and interesting post.
love Di,
ABCW team.

Quite quaint and lovely photographs. I wonder if the Jane Austin writing desk was for letters because I remember some 'where authors wrote' photographs that showed something that looked like a tiny pedestal coffee table which was said to be where she mostly wrote her novels. I wonder if that is in the museum.

Gosh that was a lovely journey of quaintess. I like Liz's garden. That's my goal for our front yard. Thank you!
