Infinity
I had a wonderful time in England.
My camera battery died but I bought a new one.
It was cold, but I put on my thermal vest.
Golden moments touched every day with joy:
Long overdue family reunions,
Laughter and red wine
And the rolling Sussex countryside
With a sky stretching to infinity.
The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand;
the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone. — George Eliot

Nice quotes to go with your collection of pretty photos, the light in that part of the world can add a beautiful touch to the view

Wonderful photographs! It’s warming up a bit here now – pretty humid today.

Looks gorgeous and not at all rainy like you hear England is most of the time! Loved the little cottage you see in the first photo…that is how I picture England…I will get there someday
June 2, 2011 at 14:10
Glad to hear you had a lovely time. I love Sussex.
June 2, 2011 at 14:27
I love the rolling hills. They are just as beautiful as mountains. Glad you had a good time with your family.

“the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.”
One sentence says a Thousand words.
~~Beautiful. xx

England is one of the most beautiful and inspiring countries in the world. I have great admiration for the tenacity with which the British survived two worldwars and the bombardments in WW I. Great photos of England.
In the meantime the USA had to face another tornado. I am very sorry for all those people who are affected in Joplin and all the other places. They all show courage and strength.
June 2, 2011 at 15:01
Enamored with the rolling Sussex countryside! Will you be posting more of England next?
I am so glad you enjoyed your family!! Nothing like it, especially when you haven’t seen them in a while…
Hugs my friend!
June 2, 2011 at 15:23
Great England.The beautiful sky is same all over the world.
June 2, 2011 at 15:29
Beautiful rolling hills! Hope you post more!!! And glad you had a great trip but glad to “see” you back!
June 2, 2011 at 15:42
I like how the cottage is nestled into the hill in the first one
June 2, 2011 at 16:01
Glad you’re home safely and that the visit was beautiful. Eliot surely had it right, didn’t she?
June 2, 2011 at 16:13
Oh your England is beautiful. It seemed like such a short stay..I hope you had a wonderful visit:)
June 2, 2011 at 16:22
It was very short as the anklebiters are still in school…
June 2, 2011 at 16:49
How beautiful!
Although – * slight panic * – do you normally carry only one camera battery?
So when it dies you don’t have another one and a battery charger and an extra camera with an extra battery? GAH! See how I’m panicking for you?
June 2, 2011 at 16:41
Thanks for panicking for me… My battery has never died, but I’ve learnt my lesson and will carry a spare as well as my charger!
June 2, 2011 at 16:51
Family reunions when living far away always have plenty of golden moments to remember them by. Lovely photographs of the country side
June 2, 2011 at 17:08
Thoroughly jealous!
June 2, 2011 at 17:12
Comforting bucolic images.
June 2, 2011 at 17:32
Sounds like the start of a peaceful relaxing summer in Sussex. So the children are on holiday?
June 2, 2011 at 18:07
No. They are not on holiday. We’re back in Sweden for the last week of term.
June 2, 2011 at 18:15
So glad you had a great visit…pastoral countryside is peaceful…very nice!
June 2, 2011 at 18:15
Sounds like a fine time for sure. I’m looking forward to more beutiful photos.

Isn’t that countryside beautiful. How have they managed to preserve it that way? I’d love to visit there sometime. Meanwhile, I’ll count on your wonderful pictorials.
June 2, 2011 at 19:48
It was cold in June? Yuck!

Thermal vests in the UK in June!! I always think the weather is warmer there than here and we’ve been having our first touch of summer all this week!
Glad to hear you had a good time anyway!
June 3, 2011 at 00:19
Sussex is truly fascinating!
The weather was so lovely.
Lucky you!

Sounds something like good times, bad times, but in the end I think you’ve enjoyed it all. Anyway, you shot some very fine sky shots.
June 3, 2011 at 00:46
Absolutely love that quote – thanks for sharing it. I’m so glad you had a wonderful time despite a few ‘bumps’!
June 3, 2011 at 01:55
Beautiful photos. I’d love to go back and visit the country in which I was born but I don’t know when it’s going to happen.
June 3, 2011 at 02:10
Sounds like you just adapted to any problems and ended up having a lovely time. It does look like an endless sky!
June 3, 2011 at 02:35
Sounds like you are enjoying your trip. It’s so nice to see people you haven’t seen for awhile. I should be seeing my family, including my birth mom, that I haven’t seen for a year in a couple months at a wedding. I wish everyone lived closer!
June 3, 2011 at 04:04

Hi there – I think that its possible that your pictures could only have been taken in one place in the world. The scale of the hills and woods and building tells you where it is.
I have to say I miss the place!
Cheers Stewart M – Australia (late of Somerset, Yorkshire and Cumbria!)

It sounds like a wonderful few days!

If there is a country in Europe, after Portugal taht I would like to live it is England…
Fiona, I am spending a long time, every day 6 hours, studying English language ( lecture and conference) and I am really stressed…That´s the reason for me don´t visit the bloggers a lot.
