Sky Garden

Sky Garden

London, England

Today, I'm back with a post from our trip to London.

Yes, that trip back in March. My apologies...I have a bunch

of London posts sitting in my draft folders that I hope

 to get up on the blog soon.

In a word, Sky Garden was AH-MAZING.

And that is alot coming from someone

like me who is afraid of heights. I was very hesitate to go here.

Mainly because I'm afraid of heights and didn't think I would 

enjoy it.  But it was awesome and well worth a visit.

Oh and did I mention that it is FREE to visit.

Yes, that's right FREE to visit. You do 

have to get tickets to visit but they are free.

More on that later.

Amazing, right?? 

The views are incredible!!

Now, it is free to visit but you do have to get timed tickets which you can

 get on their website. Now, you can only get tickets up to three weeks

 in advance. Actually, what we did was we made a reservation for breakfast

 at one the restaurants, Darwin. Now, that was a brilliant idea because you 

can walk around the gardens before it is opened to the public.  Which pretty 

much means, you have the whole place to yourself.  I have to thank Lauren for

 that idea. We had reservations for 8:30am and we were allowed up at 8:20am. Since

 we still had ten minutes, they allowed us to walk around the whole place. It

 really was awesome, walking around, taking it all in and not worrying

 about bumping into others.
Note- We did have timed tickets for 10am but because 
we had reservations, they checked us in early. 

SkyGarden has five restaurants, you can go for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

However, reservations are hard to get (plan ahead) and it gets PACKED there.

Hence, why we choose to go for breakfast. In fact, when we left there

around 11am, you should have seen how packed it 

was. And, I won't even talk about the line to get in.

It should be noted, that you must go through airport style

security and they do have a dress code for evening.

I totally recommend a visit. But do plan

in advance, tickets go very quickly.
 And it gets very crowd.

Hence, a morning visit or late afternoon 
would be a ideal time.

Visit Sky Garden to learn more.

Would you visit if you were afraid of heights??
Let me know, I love hearing form you!!

It's almost time to start breaking out

When you living in New England, you have to have more than one coat.

There is no one fits all for the weather here. You need one coat

for the bitter cold days, one coat for those in-between days,

and then a dress coat...ok, ok, maybe that is just

my reasoning for having more than a few coats.

To be honest, I probably wear my Barbour coat the most.

 Although, on the weekends, I'm usually in my vest.

(Places around here are always over heated)

This past winter, I wore my wool coat the most.

I only break out the puffer coat on those

bitter cold or snowy days. I'm hoping

this winter is once again mild.

Just one snow storm, that is all I need.

Well, maybe two but that is it.

What type of coat is your favorite??

Let me know, I love hearing from you!!

Hey Hey!! Happy Monday!! 

Spent the weekend, cleaning up my house and switching

 my closets over. It felt good to go through my closets, switch 

them over and clean stuff out. Plus, I love how neat and clean 

my house is. Now, if it could just stay that way.

Today I'm sharing some of my favorite links
from around the internet.
