Sounds of London 🎼🥂🍻🎷🎻🎹🎸🎺🎼 - 🎼 It has been a fabulous sunny Friday in London today and I share with you a little of London through these videos. - - 🎼 Have a splendid weekend everyone 💞😃🍷 - #london #londonlife #coventgarden #londonentertainment #visitlondon #summerwinterinlondon #feelslikesummeralready #nevertoolatetolivealittle👠 #onegrandadventureatatime #perfectfriday #buskinginlondon #buskinglondon #buskinglifestyle #londonlife #soundsoflondon 🌝 Warmest Day so far this year - feels like Summer already! 💞 - - How is it where you are? - #summerishere #feelslikesummeralready #summerinwinter☀️ #summerinlondon🇬🇧 #perfectfriday #visitlondon #nevertoolatetolivealittle👠 #onegrandadventureatatime 🌾With just 4 weeks away to the official Spring date (Mar 20th), I want to share 2 of my favourite photos on the Wildflowers of the Smoky Mountains. - 🌾The Great Smoky Mountains is known as the “Wildflower National Park” because it is home to more than 1600 different flowering plants that grows here which is more than any other National Parks in America. - 🌾Our visit to Great Smoky Mountains was in the Fall, hoping to catch the changing colours of the green leaves to the renowned shades of russet, red, golden yellow and brown. Unfortunately, we did not get to see much of these as we were too early for the season and it was still warm. - 🌾What we were rewarded with, were the healthy, colourful shrub flowers in yellow, purple and white covering the slopes of the mountains on mid elevation - which you can see here in Pic 1 & Pic 2. - 🌾The shrubs here may not have the vibrant colours of Spring but they depict their own beauty and warmth...growing wild and free in their natural habitat beckoning for one and everyone to take pleasure in their subtle colours. - 🌾I am not sure what these Wildflowers are called but if you are looking for an adventurous Wildflower spotting such as Lady Slipper Orchids, Flame Azaleas, wild geraniums and many more, then head over to the Great Smoky Mountains this Spring. For more to See and Do in this Ancient Mountains, click on link in bio. - 🌾I am not a wildflower enthusiast, however, as I travel more and more, I have begun to appreciate these little beautiful flowering plants that seems to pop-up all over. - 🌾How about you? Are you a wildflower enthusiast? If not, has travel brought you close to appreciate some other aspects of nature? Share with us... - #i❤️tennessee #travel_enthusiasts #greatsmokymountainsnationalpark #adventureinthemountains #wildflowerenthusiast #wildflowerspotting #wildflowersofthesmokies #adventureinthemountains #visitusa #ustravel #travelanddestinations #bucketlist #onegrandadventureatatime #nevertoolatetolivealittle👠 #visitgatlinburg #telegraphtravel #travelphotography #travelblogger #specialplaces #wanderlust_tribe #girlswhotraveltheworld #over50andfab #midlifeadventures “Repost” - For some reason the following info and hashtags did not appear in my earlier post. Instagram did now allow an edit. So, had to Repost! I simply have to share my experiences here at the Smokies with all of you 💞 🌳Known as “Ancient Mountains, Ancient Wonder” - the natural beauty of the mountains, the tranquility of the woods and the wildlife here makes this one of the most visited Parks in America, drawing over 200,000 visitors a year. - 🌳Described as a “living” mountain range, these mountains continue to live in a time capsule of the 1800s. - 🌳There are many reasons to visit this Ancient Wonder and I have listed 10 in my blog, link in my bio. - 🌳The Mountains are a habitat to a huge diversity of wildflowers, plants and animal life. - 🌳In this Ancient Mountains, there are about 1500 black bears and the chances are that you might see one on your visit if you are here during the right season and at the right place! - 🌳Although we did not see any black bears, we were fortunate to witness two Elks - which is a rare sight as there are only a few hundreds in the entire Park. - 🌳There are plenty of activities for the young and old - 700 miles of fishable stream, part of the Appalachian Trail is here (Clingman’s Dome) and various camping grounds. - 🌳These are not just mountains...there is an air of tranquility here which you must quite simply experience 💞 - #wildflowersofthesmokies #greatsmokymountainsnationalpark #visitcherokeenc #onegrandadventureatatime #nevertoolatetolivealittle👠 #telegraphtravel #kuonitravel #appalachiantrail #naturalbeauty #ancientwonder #clingmansdome #specialmoments #adventureinthemountains #adventure #travelphotography #travelblogger #ustravel #postcardsfromtheworld #hiking_enthusiasts #travel_enthusiasts #wanderlust #travelnotebooks #bucketlist #i❤️tennessee 🏆LensCulture Portrait Awards 2019. - 🏆Yesterday, I received an invite from the LensCulture Portrait Awards 2019 Team to enter the competition by submitting a portrait picture which they had noticed on my Instagram feed.

The mill was moved to its current location at Funenkade in 1814 and it sits on a stone foundation which was part of a water mill that was destroyed in 1812; - 🌷 Although, it no longer serves its original purpose, it remains a distinctive feature of Amsterdam, and is listed as a National Monument; - 🍺Next to the De Gooyer is the famous IJ Brewery. The Brewery was opened in 1985, and is famous for its craft beer, a selection of organic and dark. - 🍺 If you are heading to Amsterdam this weekend or at anytime - find this Brewery and enjoy a relaxing hour or two in their large courtyard ~ you can walk, cycle, take the trams or even do a canal cruise to get here. - 🌷🍺 Check-our link in bio for this and more experiences in Amsterdam in 48 hours! 💞 - #amsterdam #degooyerwindmill #degooyerwindmillbrewery #ijbrewery #craftbeer #i❤️Amsterdam #travelersnotebook #athomeintheworld #eurotravel #visitamsterdam #uniquetravelexperiences #onegrandadventureatatime #nevertoolatetolivealittle👠 #natgeo #visitnetherlands #travelphotography #travelblogger #traveleurope Bicycles in Amsterdam! 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️ - 🚵‍♀️ One of the most popular sights in Amsterdam is the bicycle parking at Amsterdam Central Station, tiered and lots of them ~ as seen here in Pic. 1; - 🚵‍♀️ Amsterdam has dedicated cycle paths as cycling is key to the City’s character; - 🚵‍♀️ It was fascinating to watch how effortlessly people take on to riding their bicycles, with their shopping and bags, without a fuss or discomfort. I have experienced this in Japan but it was my first in an European City; - 🚵‍♀️ Did you know that in Amsterdam, the bicycles outnumber the local population? ~ there are 1 million bicycles to 750,000 people; ~~ so, you may want to look both ways when crossing! - #amsterdam #bicyclesinamsterdam #amsterdamcentralstation #cyclinglifestyle #travelanddestinations #travelphotography #travellog #slowtravel #slowtravelling #travelguide #traveltheworld #traveleurope #eurotravel #explore #exploreamsterdam #discoveramsterdam #newexperiences #nevertoolatetolivealittle👠 #onegrandadventureatatime #footstepsofanolderwoman #instatravel #athomeintheworld #travelersnotebook #natgeo #aroundtheworld #valentinesday2019 #love #lovequotes #couples #togetherforever❤️ #againstallodds #happiness #happycouples #lifeslittlestories #nevertoolatetolivealittle👠 #valentinesday #lovelivelaugh #loveisagift #loveisforever #truelove❤️ 🌷Amsterdam - a City that portrays the “anything goes” image ~ from prostitution that is tolerated openly and the use of cannabis in fashionable coffee shops; - 🌷It is a seductive City - often referred to as the Venice of the North, because of its canals and bridges; - 🌷It is popular for its fairytale landscape which offers so much to see and experience ~ windmills, gingerbread houses and museums to marijuana, cheeses and tulips; - 🌷Take a sunset cruise - listen to the tales of the City, admire the unique architecture of 17th century houses and the extraordinary gabled houses which line the streets on both sides of the canals; - 🌷For Art Lovers - this is the City to be! ~ home to the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh; - 🌷Our visit to Amsterdam was on the ‘slow-side’ ~ No “do-list” and No “must-see” touristic places.

Roosevelt. - 🌳There are no real words to describe this place, called The Great Smoky Mountains National Park; 🌳One of the most prettiest sight I had ever witnessed is when driving through the Smoky Mountains National Park was the crisscrossing of the mountains in the distance that gets lost in the clouds and as against the blues of the skies which makes it particularly picturesque; 🌳The are many ‘pull-over’ areas throughout the drive that gives you breathtaking views of the mountains; 🌳You can drive through the National Park from Gatlinburg TN to Cherokee, NC; 🌳Part of the Appalachian Trail is here, in the Great Smokies, near Clingman’s Dome - hiking enthusiasts, you may want to check this place out; 🌳If you have not been here already, plan a visit here or get it onto your bucket list ~ the stunning natural beauty of the Smoky Mountains must be visited to be appreciated 💞. #thegreatsmokymountains #thegreatsmokymountainsnationalpark #i❤️tennessee #i❤️tennesseemountains #i❤️cherokee #mountains #appalachiantrail #clingmansdome #presidentfranklinroosevelt #naturalbeauty #travelphotography #travelblogger #specialmoments #specialplaces #wanderlust #travelphotography #wonderfulplaces #adventure #adventureinthemountains #bucketlist #travelanddestinations #traveladdict #mytravelgram #postcardsfromtheworld #passionpassport #onegrandadventureatatime #nevertoolatetolivealittle👠 #instapassport #ustravel #natgeo My final feed on the Queen’s House aka the “House of Delight” is on the infamous Tulip Stairs. The Tulip Stairs is definitely unique! - 👑This magnificent ornate, wrought iron structure is one of the original features of the House built in the 17th century. It is the first geometric self-supporting spiral stairs in Britain. - 👑The paint, a quirky shade of blue is unique too, as it is derived from crushed glass. - 👑The Tulip Stairs is also popular for another reason ~ this is where the photos taken by Rev. Hardy in 1966 showed one, two or even three shrouded figures on the staircase. - 👑For more on the Queen’s House, click on the link in bio. - #historicgreenwich #londonphotography #london_enthusiast #londonist #exploringlondon #timeoutlondon #bbctravel #bbcbritain #bbchistory #bbchistorymagazine #greenwich #visitgreenwich #queenshousegreenwich #thetulipstairs #royalparkgreenwich #worldwithoutborders #passportstories #travelblogger #londonbylondoners #appreciatinglondon #appreciatinghistory #retracingmyfootsteps #nevertoolatetolivealittle👠 #onegrandadventureatatime #over50andfabulous #over50andlovingit #exploregreenwich The Queens House is also home to 400 years of history, on showcase is an Art Collection through the ages. - 👑 Pic 1 - The Armada Portrait which is on permanent display at the House. It depicts the imperial power following the British defeat of the Spanish Armada, the hopes and aspirations of the people at that time and to reflect female power and majesty; - 👑 Pic 2 - Queen Elizabeth I was a virgin queen at the age of 55, at the time of the Armada Invasion in 1588. A “Mask of Youth” was created to portray her innocence as well as her strength and charisma. This is displayed opposite the Armada painting. Pic 3 - A sample of the Art Collection. - Click in link in bio to read more. - #historicgreenwich #timeoutlondon #londonphotography #london_enthusiast #londonist #timeoutlondon #royalmuseumsgreenwich #ArmadaPortrait #MaskofYouth #visitlondon #thisislondon #londonist #londonblogger #nevertoolatetolivealittle👠 #onegrandadventureatatime #appreciatinglondon #historiclondon #retracingmyfootsteps #ageisjustanumber #over50andfab #havefundiscoveringlife Walking into this incredible building, I found myself standing within the four-walls of a cube 12metres x 12metres x 12metres which is referred to as the Great Hall. Standing in the midst of this cubic masterpiece, I realised that I was standing on the original floor of the House from 1630s, made from a striking black and white marble - seen here in Pic 1; 👑Then, I glance up. I notice a simplistic, yet beautifully decorated ceiling in gold leaf. It reflected painstaking craftsmanship of an intricate and unique design that goes well with the original architecture of the House. See pics 2, 3 and 4; 👑 A walk-through the 1st floor gallery gives spectacular views of the exterior and an idea of how life back then was. For example, Queen Mary II ensured that there was uninterrupted views of the Thames from the front facing rooms - Pic 5; 👑 On the other side of the 1st floor gallery square, there is the view of the Royal Observatory (blog + pictures on this coming soon) high up on the hill, across the Royal Park - Pic 6. The balcony here provides an area for the Queen and her ladies to watch riding and hunting taking place in the Park; - To read more on this magnificent building, click on link in bio. - 👑I have been to the Queen’s House before but somehow, walking through the corridors of 400 year old history this time around, was different in the sense I began to visualise how life would have been like back then...the frontal view offering horse-carriages instead of cars, more ships on the Thames...and hunting scenes in their back garden... - Have you visited a historical building that has somewhat inspired you to imagine life back in the day? - #historicgreenwich #queenshousegreenwich #inigojones #royalmuseumsgreenwich #royalmuseumgreenwich #houseofdelight #londonphotography #london_enthusiast #londonist #timeoutlondon #londonblogger #visitlondon #thisislondon #i❤️london #bbctravel #bbctravels #historicbritain #appreciatinglondon #retracingmyfootsteps #worldwithoutborders #passportstories #nevertoolatetolivealittle👠 #onegrandadventureatatime The Queen’s House 👑 This remarkable Grade 1 listed building is the Queen’s House in Greenwich. Unlike other buildings with the name “Queen’s House”, this Queen’s House really was a former royal residence where Elizabeth I was born; - - 👑 It was the first Classical building in England, built between 1616 and 1636 designed by Inigo Jones, inspired by his travels to Italy; - - 👑History has it that James I gifted the building to his wife, Anne of Denmark, by way of an apology for swearing in her presence because she shot one of his favourite dogs whilst hunting; - - 👑Work commenced in 1616 but was halted in 1619 when Anne of Denmark died. By this time, only the first floor was completed. - - 👑Work on the house continued again in 1629, when Charles I gave Greenwich to his wife, Henrietta Maria; - - 👑The House was finally completed in 1636. Additional wings to the building were linked by colonnades built in 1807. - - 👑Today you can wander around this magnificent building for Free which has undergone massive restoration in recent years and imagine what life would have been like all the way back in the 17th century. Who knows, you might experience some paranormal activities... 👑To find out more, click on link in bio - - 👑Swipe to see the exterior of this remarkable building. More pictures of the interior of this iconic building will be posted soon. - 👑This historic building has a tale of paranormal activities yet I did not capture any on my camera although I looked forward to! 😃 Have you visited a building that had a historic past of paranormal activities? - - #greenwich #queenshouse #inigojones #visitgreenwich #visitlondon #thisislondon #londonblogger #appreciatinglondon #historiclondon #retracingmyfootsteps #londonphotography #timeoutlondon #londonbylondoners #londonist #london_enthusiast #greenwichpark #historicgreenwich #nevertoolatetolivealittle👠 #onegrandadventureatatime 🌟”Dusk is just an illusion because the sun is either above the horizon or below it ~ and that means that day and night are linked in a way that few things are there cannot be one without the other yet they cannot exist at the same time. 🌟How would it feel, I remember wondering to be always together yet forever apart?” - Nicholas Sparks, Notebook. 🌟 🌟 🌟Between sunsets and sunrises, I love the sunsets more because it seems to give me more time to enjoy watching the colours change, the gentle breeze getting cooler and moments when time sometimes just stands still... 🌟 🌟Are you a ‘sunset’ or a ‘sunrise’ person? #sunset #dusk #blueskies #themoment #geneva #lakegeneva #illusion #horizon #alwaystogetheryetforeverapart #onewithouttheother #love #relationship #beautifulmemories💞 #lovequotes #believeinyourself #lifeexperiences #behappy #nevertoolatetolivealittle👠 #onegrandadventureatatime 🌷Retracing my footsteps as a Londoner has been an opportunity to learn more about London’s history and truly Appreciate this City that has risen from its ashes of 1666. - -🌷I recently visited a 61 meters (202 feet) Doric column which sits right in the heart of the financial district in London, known simply as The Monument. 🌷 - -🌷The Monument stands as a permanent reminder to the Great Fire in 1666 which started in a nearby baker’s house in Pudding Lane. -🌷 -🌷The fascinating fact which I was unaware of is that the positioning of the Monument was a significant factor ~ it’s 61 meters high is the exact distance between the baker’s shop in Pudding Lane and the Monument! -🌷 -🌷You can access a 360-degree view of London’s skyline through a 311 narrow-spiral stone stairs which leads to the viewing platform 🌷 -🌷This is one of the cheapest places I have been to - entry is just £4.50 🌷 -🌷For more on this historic place, please click link in bio🙏🏽 - - - #themonumentlondon #appreciatinglondon #londonbylondoners #historiclondon #keepexploring #explorelondon #discoverlondon #thisislondon #timeoutlondon #itssolondon #instalondon #visitlondon #visitbritain #timeoutlondon #bbcbritain #bbctravel #londonblogger #londontourist #adventure #travelersnotebook #nevertoolatetolivealittle👠 #onegrandadventureatatime #retracingmyfootsteps The Moon, The Shard & a Good Ol’ English Pub - Bankside ~ a perfect evening by the River 💞 - 🍹 #london #londonatnight #londonfood #theshardlondon #moonlight #walkbytheriver #londonpubs #pubsoflondon #londonblogger #appreciatinglondon #i❤️London #i❤️england #instablogger #visitlondon #thisislondon #thisislondon🇬🇧 #over50andfabulous #worldwithoutborders #funinlondon #londontourist #londontown #livinginlondon -🍹 This photo was taken just before Christmas - quite simply love the blue skies in London 💞 I am posting something here that is off the grid from our travel and positive quotes...just light-hearted little something to consider as we approach the weekend ~ so how many of us women still like to be treated as the post asks and how many of you men still or willing to do so for your woman? #over50andfabulous #newbeginnings #motivation #howtotreatalady #howtotreatawoman #love #sunshinegirl #mylove❤️ #my❤️ #mylife❤️ #inspiration #inspirationalquotes #positivevibes #positivethoughtsonly 🌹 🌹 As for me, the answer is huge, mega YES!
