I was born and raised in England. In Bedfordshire to be exact, that being about 30 miles north from London. I will always be English, I can never change my nationality. That does not mean I don't like it here in Michigan because I do. I live in a beautiful area on the Great Lakes, Lake Michigan. We have it all. Sand and beaches, shops, arts and crafts, winter sports.........we have vineyards and cherry orchards. We have casino's that put on great shows and an art institute that has great entertainment and concerts.

We have woods and forests, rivers and streams, dunes and meadows.
There are great hiking and skiing trails and there is never "nothing to do"
Waterfalls and beaches, lighthouses and shops.
I simply love Michigan.
Michigan is now my home and I am happy here. My heart though, my very soul....will always rest in England. Land of my birth, my heritage, my history, my ancestors. I can never ever give that up. I may never live there again, I made my choices many years ago before I really knew the consequences.
London, always beautiful for me.

I could post so many beautiful pictures, but if you visit my blogs you will get to see them. I am always talking about England and share stories of the past.
Meanwhile I will be out and about in Michigan and taking pictures of my own.

It would be interesting to have lived in two countries...my dream is to visit England.

Great post! Both places very beautiful!
Home is where the heart is Janice, I must agree, no matter where we actually live!
Lovely photos Dear!
Hugs,
Thanks for sharing - I SO enjoyed your post!
I think that no matter where we live, we never leave our "birth" land behind!
I think living by the Great Lakes would be so beautiful. I learned something today: I did not know there were casinos in Michigan!
Have a great weekend and hope you'll join us for Inspire Me Monday!

Hi Janice,
So nice to meet you!
It's all gorgeous! I was born and grew up in Toronto, and I believe Michigan and Ontario are quite similar! Your pictures of nature are breathtaking! I especially love the one with the lighthouses - my red and white nature!
Looking forward to seeing more and following you back!
Poppy :)
