And Traveling the World
There’s no better way to spend a perfect English summer day than at the races. After Royal Ascot in June, I wasn’t sure when I would attend a horse race again, but I got an invitation to attend the Glorious Goodwood festival on Saturday and I couldn’t wait to go.
I enjoyed lovely weather in Hamburg last week. My al fresco dining made me long for more outdoor meals. Thankfully it was so warm in London when I got back that my dinner at The Montague on the Gardens restaurant took place outside on The Wood Deck.
Summer came early to London this year. There was fantastic weather in April and early May. Things have gone downhill a bit since then, though. In fact, it’s hard to remember a day in the past few weeks that hasn’t brought a few downpours. As such, it was with a bit of trepidation that I went for a Kew Gardens day out last weekend.
Last week I wrote about a hidden gem in London. But the UK capital isn’t the only place in Britain with great new places to discover. On Wednesday I traveled by train up to Cumbria to a place called the Eden Valley in England.
