But you know what? I have got to get to know your England because thanks to Blogland, meeting fine people like you and seeing what you all share has given me a great love for your landscape and lifestyle...maybe next year I will take everyone on a tour of the English countryside. I will need your help to instruct me on what region may be the best to highlight! THink about it!<br /><br />Much love, AnitaCastles Crowns and Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780241008313365707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482562208496126954.post-27993956905178500942013-05-10T06:56:50.043+01:002013-05-10T06:56:50.043+01:00Oh I did love reading about the sandman and it sur...Oh I did love reading about the sandman and it surely took me back to childhood years, smiling softly at the memories.

We were sent to bed with a prayer and then read until our eyes drooped close. I imagine my mom came and shut the lights out for us many times when we fell asleep with a book in our hands. Enjoy your sunshine Maria ... good and hot here now, so everyone is happy, happy :D (we'll wait till it gets to a muggy 30'C and THEN we'll all be whining and complaining about the humidity).
