    Great pics Blueroses ...

    roders would DIE to have been there with Alys, the love of his life but he's in Crete at the moment ...

    I'd die for those Bonsai as they are one of my passions ...

    Beautiful photographs and thank you so much for sharing with us. k-l

    Thank you Victória :)

    Alys is so refreshingly natural, she talked about her little dog and her chickens :)

    Hi Blue

    Just found some time to catch up with the forum and noticed your post.

    Lovely photos - I especially like the fact that James Alexander-Sinclair seems to be looking directly at you in a lot of the pics. I really like him - but it seems he really likes YOU!!!!!!!! :wink:

    Alys does look very happy and smiley, how nice to be around someone like that.

    Glad you had a great day.
