The Garden
Many of you worried about the F-ing Wings since they weren’t part of the photos in Nora’s two garden posts this spring. Never fear, they are just fine. I literally stopped as I went up Nora’s drive a couple weeks ago, opened my car window and took this just for you all.
Why was I heading up the drive? Well it was time for the annual trip to Tyson’s Corner for Kat’s birthday shopping trip.
Saks
On the first day, there was lots of walking around the mall and talking as we planned various upcoming trips. On day 2, the team at Saks — as always — created a wonderful experience. We even learned how to plant/care for orchids! An assortment of the colorful fun is below.
In Death in Depth
I posted the final episode of In Death In Depth on Friday. We had a lot of fun creating the series last summer and I have tons of notes on how to make Season 2 even better. Nora answered over 50 questions last year that I combined into themes for each episode. I’m working on the questions we’ll film at The Greenbrier in late July.
Travelogue time
But first, there’s a trip to Ireland and a travelogue to produce.
This year is going to be different. Not only will Nora and family travel to Ireland late this coming week, but my husband and I are going on our own adventure which will end with me joining Nora at The Lodge at Ashford Castle for the reader event on July 6.
Yes I’m going this year. So I won’t be manning Travelogue Central at my office desk, waiting for photos and texts in order to set them up and post by a specific time. Instead I’ll be winging it as I travel from London to Windsor to Glasgow (by way of the Lake District), fly to Ireland and visit relatives. After all that I’ll get myself to Ashford.
The updates will happen, promise, I just want to warn you that timing could be different due to location and internet and what’s on my list for the day.
I’ll be writing my own blog over on Substack (free). When the first one is up, I’ll share the link here. You can follow my IG account for photos because I’ll definitely be taking them.
And that’s the updates for now.
