I was at Westfield shopping centre prior to Christmas with my eldest daughter, I found it a little over whelming being from a very small village in Lincolnshire. Thank you for your visit and lovely comments, hope you visit again soon.

I guess I'll have to go back to basics and relearn the whole thing. I also had just a huge amount of horrible spam in my comments. Oh well. I hope spring is coming to England soon. We are still very much under snow here in Canada.<br /><br />Diane Diane at My Cottage Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17855098457081134408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-39423195600613868172014-03-02T23:08:05.614+00:002014-03-02T23:08:05.614+00:00That Alan!

What a wonderful painting to grace your home and with such a thoughtful addition by the artist so that you know "the rest of the story." <br /><br />Interesting to think about what is going on with the Olympics venue. I suppose that not everything can be or even should be preserved. It will be of interest to see how it all ends up. <br /><br />Hope that your sciatica is better. One often never knows what will set it off. Do take care!

It is interesting to see the various views around you. I do wish you could tell me how to treat my climbing roses that are about the size they were when purchased four years ago.

How nice to know the story behind the boat. <br />I think the Olympics can be such a waste of taxpayer funds. All the buildings and infrastructure cost so much and then to demolish and rebuild something more suitable for use irks me. I know this happens everywhere the Olympics are held. Tim recently read that most of the venue for the Greek summer Olympic games is deserted and falling into ruins. So sad. <br />I hope your sciatica improves quickly.Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-87032892045826133322014-03-01T20:36:35.585+00:002014-03-01T20:36:35.585+00:00I love your new painting!

I had a layover in one airport and waiting time before my plane home in another airport. I was amazed to see the phone and camera and computer charging stations in each of the airports - but I was delighted to use one during one long layover. I had read most of a book on my Kindle E-Reader and I wanted to charge up the battery for the next 'leg' of the journey. Our airport has recently added the overhead lights to give direction to empty parking places. It's a wonderful addition. I'm sorry you're dealing with sciatica. Be careful and take care of yourself.<br />~Adrienne~Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401476871614514660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-12658683080096931562014-03-01T20:26:48.037+00:002014-03-01T20:26:48.037+00:00Hi Barbara,

I can't imagine countries spending billions of dollars....like Russia just did. Sounds like they will get good use out of their Olympic places. <br />I often start out gardening in the spring and overdoing it....be careful and take care.<br />BalishaBalishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823703470631008618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-52023279496587537122014-03-01T20:10:04.686+00:002014-03-01T20:10:04.686+00:00I love "random posts" like this! :-)
