I lived here.
See that very tip-top room? That was mine.
{Bradford}
this is the place we saw a woman walking her ferret.
it smelled.
{Hilversum}
you turn left right at the shadow to get to our house.
{Hilversum}
this is the first house I lived in, in the Netherlands.
we had the top floor, and
see the little rectangle window, right behind the street lamp?
that's where Abigail was born.
{Hilversum}
we visited a Scots church today.
and after a short discussion, we decided that this was a fragment
of the bomb that blew up the original church
during WWII.
{Rotterdam}
{Skipton}
fish and chips, of course.
{Skipton}
I've been to Skipton Castle so many times.
Beautiful, isn't it?

My friend Claire and I bought some rhubarb and
custard last week.
It's now my favorite candy.
{Skipton}
a little off on the focus (silly 50mm lens), but it gives you
an idea of how many bikes there are.
{Hilversum}
this was the park directly behind our house on Laangstraat.
so many hours spent there.
{Hilversum}
overlooking the Yorkshire area.

{Bradford}
this is the pub in Skipton that we used to eat at.
one of the places I remember well.

{Skipton}
of course, the quintessentially British phone booth.

a refugee fair in Bradford.
that's Sambalifax on stage.

downtown: charity shops, charity shops, and more charity shops.
{Bradford}
this mosque is new and massive and beautiful.
{Bradford}
just outside Lister Park.
{Bradford}
we might have walked through a wedding/wedding photos. *cringe*
{Bradford}
more of Lister Park.
{Bradford}
we only lived in Bradford during the winter.
consequently, I had no idea that you could play in this water.
{Bradford}
the water is so green.
{Bradford}
again, the boats were always in during the winter, so it was never like this.
{Bradford}
this was always my favorite swing at Lister Park.
{Bradford}
so yeah. that's been my week. we're here in Holland until Sunday, and then we head on
to Brussels. It's been great so far.
Oh. My. Gosh.

This is so fantastic. I love seeing all of the photos of these amazing places you're traveling to! I can tell that these places must mean a lot to you, and hold some very important memories. Oh, and the quintessentially British phone booth is pretty awesome. :D
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful. I've lived in England all my life, but never ventured very far. Bradford looks beautiful though, and it's fun to see the similarities between there and my town--like, so many charity shops, the odd phone box, and lots of pubs.
ReplyDeleteKatie!! These are truly wonderful! Seeing these makes me want to go there ever so badly! You capture these places so magnificently! Please keep them coming! I miss and love you so very, very much! :))
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous. Very Gilmore.
ReplyDeleteAll of these beautiful photos have me wanderlusting. It looks like you are having a wonderful time! Thanks for sharing these with us. :)
ReplyDeleteSOOO beautiful! You lived in a gorgeous place! Oh I dream about living and visiting different countries... Holland is a must for me! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos per usual, Katie. You are not helping with my wanderlust dilemma.
ReplyDeleteThat green water doesn't look safe! That's safe?! Green water in my mind = mossy water = slimy water = ew.
Hey there! I just found your blog and I have to say that I am already in love...with your blog! :) Thank you for being so amazing! I look forward to enjoying more amazing stuff here.
ReplyDeleteI thank my God every time I remember you. (Philippians 1:3 NIV)
Lots of love, Taylor
The photos look amazing! I fell in love with your first photo and it just kept impressing me. Such a beautiful place you're livin' in and surrounded by. :)
ReplyDeleteThough that green water seems kinda fun to play in. Haha. x
While I'm a little late to the game, I wanted to say that these photos are beautiful! You make me eager for my own trip through Europe in the spring!
