Regent Street, London dressed up for Christmas. Looks like it was taken from a fairytale book. Don't you think?

We got back from England last week after a dreamy couple of weeks visiting our friends in Plymouth.
And I'm realizing...
how little I saw of London and Plymouth when I was there, once again. I wish I could beam myself right back there!
Coming back from vacation and getting back to your normal routine is always hard.
Quite frankly, the trouble is transitioning from holiday mode-to go back to work status.
So, I'm finally officially back in action on my blog and I'm excited to catch up with all your blog posts and comments.
Here are a few London and Plymouth photos, if you'd like to see.

Looking east from the Blue Bridge on St. James's Park Lake.
The beautiful colours of Autumn or Fall actually light up the lovely lake. I keep gazing at this picture, which I took in late November, and I'm still savouring those beautiful Autumn red and gold colours, reflected in the still water of the lake.

Delicious Devon Pasties. The Traditional Steak Pasty is a firm favourite with locals and a favourite of mine as well.You simply can't visit Devon without eating a pasty.

Oh boy, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! How was your week? Do you have your Christmas tree up and stockings hung yet?
My dears, I hope you have a fabulous weekend! xx
P.S. Sorry I am so late in posting this!
P.P.S. More photos to follow.
Update: I just heard the news about the Connecticut shooting...my heart breaks. Our prayers and sympathies go out to all who suffered from a needless tragedy today.

These are all gorgeous, but for some reason, the harbor shot is my favorite!
I haven't done a single thing toward Christmas. Zip, zilch, nada.
In London christmas are celebrated more than Greece.Christmas is a good period for visiting England.I wish you travel again.
I am so jealous! And amazed that you had clear skies at least for that first shot.
Oh,I love those beautiful Christmas decorations. The reflections are gorgeous as well. Have a great weekend.

...hello Betty, welcome home. We missed you. But I think they do a nice trip like yours, it was really great. And maybe you would have gladly remained other days. Here with me (Imola) last week dropped the snow. I admired all your extraordinary photographs and some moved me. I also wish you a happy weekend. An arm from Sergio.
What fairy tale shots!
Hurrah! In the end I got a website from where I be
able to truly get valuable information concerning my
study and knowledge.
