Wonderland

After packing and moving and going through what all of that entitles to, I'm looking forward to the summer...So, here I am after what feels like a million days ago at the beginning of my trip...happy to have finally taken the load of, and happy to be enjoying the new days ahead!
First stop...England! Of course London but right now I've been wonderfully surprised by East Grinstead and to be more exact The Old Convent! I find it amazing we are staying at Saint Margaret's Convent. It feels like it came out of a book! We are surrounded by green forests, birds singing...beautiful flowers! The convent has been turned into amazing apartments while conserving its structure which was built around 1890...!!! The weather has been beautiful which adds a touch of poetry to what could turn eerie if looked and perceived with other eyes. Our bedroom window is outstanding...and we've slept soundly!




  Wish you were here! Have a lovely weekend...

  1. Que tal? Margarita de Escocia, nacio en Hungria, en el 1045. Esposa,
    madre y reina. Dio a luz ocho hijos. Estaba emparentada con San Eduardo y San Esteban. Murio en Edimburgo en el 1093 luego de una penosa y larga enfermedad. Es celebrada por la iglesia el diez y seis
    de noviembre. Fue canonizada por el Papa Inocencio cuarto. Sus restos no se encontraron. Pero en El Escorial, hay una tumba tallada para ella y su esposo. Su estirpe y su dinero le facilitaron las obras de caridad. Y su
    nexo con dos santos, le abrieron las puertas en el Vaticano para ser santa. Gracias a Dios queda esa maravilla de convento para disfrutarlo.
    Muy pero que muy buenas las fotos.!!!!!!
