This digital page is for
Mary C. Nasser is the hostess this month and has chosen.... Maps.... as the theme.
We are now nearly home with the caravan and the Land Rover.
These past few days have been rather wet, but didn't stop us from doing the things we had planned . The last three days in Cambridge
had us visiting the Air Museum, and the American War Memorials.
Lots of photos will follow when I get them sorted.
I remember well when the lads were small how they always used to ask if we were, 'nearly there'.
Now its them driving us on our journey home.
How times change.
The map of Northumberland is an vintage one, this is our destination, but not Alnwick.
Thank you for visiting me, I will be grabbing a coffee and catching up with everyone in the next couple of days.
Wonderful page, thanks so much for joining us at AJJ. Glad you are having a fun time in spite of the weather, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteA wonderful page Yvonne - great to hear that your trip was fun and that the weather didn't keep you from having fun and enjoying! Thank you for joining AJJ again - Return save and well at home! oxo Susi
ReplyDeleteThis is another clever page Yvonne. I love the vintage image you added in. Can't wait to see your photos from your journey. It sounds like you had a great time and saw some interesting things. The weather is beyond our control and it bugs me when people are stopped on a vacation from visiting places when it rains. I guess the beach might be out though. Enjoy what's lft to your weekend. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteWow, this is a beautiful Page. Great!

Fun page, those children images are adorable!! Enjoy your travels, and excited to see your pics!
ReplyDeleteFantastic digital page! Love those two cute little guys!
ReplyDeleteApologies for the lack of visits lately, but life has become rather hectic at the moment...
A wonderful collage great travel piece.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute piece for the theme. Love the children in it. And you mention the Land Rover. I had one of the English ones....not the new fancy one but the kind with the 4 fold up seats in the back. It was my treasure...blue and white. One of my neighbors had a green one and another a real station wagon. They were so cool. They have all gone to the CAR HEAVEN IN THE SKY...SO SAD. You are just so creative the way you put your pages together. I love them. genie
ReplyDeleteHi Yvonne so late catching up with your holiday and makes can't wait to see the photos. Just been browsing everything I have missed and they are all gorgeous. Your digital collages are amazing and this one is divine.

Great page, images and sentiment. Glad you enjoyed Cambridge and have a safe trip home xxx
ReplyDeleteOh Yvonne, this is simply INCREDIBLE. I love the two boys on their bikes, as well as the map in the background.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see photos from Cambridge. What I know about Cambridge I have seen on TV, specifically Morse, and all the Morse offshoots (Endeavor and Lewis). I simply adore seeing Cambridge on TV, so look forward to seeing your photos, too!
Goodness. I'm not awake. Morse was from Oxford, not Cambridge. Not sure why I thought that when I read Cambridge, but I'm sure I've seen it on TV a lot.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab page those boys are so sweet. x
ReplyDeleteYou are soooo good at these Yvonne!! Great page. x
ReplyDeleteFabulous page, love the layout and colours. The two little boys are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOh that old refrain - glad to hear the trip has been going well - I'm guessing you must be "there" by now, and I'm looking forward to seeing some more photos of the big adventure. I love the vintage boys though I'm not sure the eggy penny farthings would be very comfortable to ride! A really charming page.

What a sweet art journal page! Thank you for joining us at Art Journal Journey!
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous Yvonne! I love those vintage lads! Chrisx
ReplyDeleteTheir bicycles are fun, I do like this picture, the old map, the wooden signpost and the daisies. Great blogpost title too.
ReplyDeleteBack home myself & finally got some time to catch up on blog posts! I'll be in the Alnwick area next month!

Your collage represents beautifully those sweet boyhood days gone all too soon.
ReplyDeleteJust when you think you can't stand to hear the "are we there yet" question one more time they're all grown up and out on their own :-)
When we were lucky enough to tour the UK a couple of years ago and really enjoyed our visit to Alnwick. We even learned how to pronounce it properly and decided that's how the locals must weed out the tourists ;-).
