From fields and forest to beaches and bodies of water, from ancient to modern, it's impossible to capture - let alone post all that I saw and experienced during my two months in the UK but here are a few of my favorite photos and memories (outside of the people - see previous post for that!) If you're friends with me on fb, you've seen some of these before, but not all!
