England has so much to offer, a wealth of things to discover and culture to unearth. Here are some of my favourites so far!
Traditions
Celebrations that have been handed down the generations adding colour and music to local history. Not put on for tourists, part of everyday village life.
 |
| The Morris dancers. |
 |
| Skills handed down from generation to generation |
 |
| Maypole dancing heralds the beginning of Summer, village greens come alive. |
 |
| Adding colour and laughter to villages across the country. |
History
The land is steeped in history. There is so much to explore, to learn, to absorb.
 |
| From London's Big Ben and Westminster Abbey |
 |
| To Stonehenge |
 |
| Hampton Court Palace and beyond. |
Flowers
Spring brings a rolling avalanche of colour and fragrance to brighten the days after a long Winter.

Beautiful flower photos, Robyn. But the Maypole won my top vote. I remember dancing the maypole at school fetes...over 60 years ago (ugh..that long??) and being entranced when we all got the interwoven ribbons correctly placed on the pole. Took lots of practice! Glad to see that tradition still alive and kicking in the U.K. MIL x
