journeying

Very excited about my new English Journeys collection from Penguin Books:

While journeying cross-country on a side saddle sounds rather uncomfortable,

I reckon a walk in the wheat fields would be quite pleasant,

especially if there's a picnic hamper involved (game pie, anyone?)...

and a garden visit or two along the way:

But must put my (virtual) English journeys aside, as I'm headed off on a (real) American journey tomorrow. Then again, I'm sure I could fit just a few volumes in my hand luggage...

    I didn't know that you could buy them in a boxed set! How beautiful...love the titles that you've highlighted.

    Enjoy your trip away Kristina, bon voyage!

    "Let us now praise famous gardens"? what a lovely sentiment!

    Have a wonderful trip - it's a beautiful time of year to visit the US, and I am rather envious!

    Aaargh! They have a boxed set?! I just ordered all of these from the Book Depository (Penguin wouldn't sell to me in the USA). I have all but one at this point, but I didn't know there was a boxed set. Sigh. And it looks so good as well.

    Are you back yet? I hope you will write a bit about your trip.

    Thanks for sharing these; I see "Christmas present" written all over them. (Unfortunately, I want to give a set to my dad . . . but also to myself. So often the way.)
