*My Favourite Place*

Have you got a place that is really special to you, that you would go to right now if you could? Whether it be because it holds a special memory or simply because it is beautiful, it holds a special place in your heart and you often find your mind drifting there?

Well, my favourite place is a little hideaway hotel in Bel Air which we stayed in while in LA. We only stayed there for two nights as it was a special treat to ourselves on our honeymoon so I don't know if we'll ever get to stay there again;) The hotel is classical in style but understated, and the gardens are insanely beautiful & so was our room!
I just have to share these pictures cos they brighten up my day whenever I look at them! Hope you enjoy them too :)

    Oh! darling what an enchanting place, you lucky girl. I am planning a trip to Los Angeles to visit my daughter, I will ask her to take me to this magical place. My favourite place is a little church and garden in South of France tucked away in the hills between Nice and Monte Carlo. To me this place is heaven on earth. I can sit there for hours and just stare at the beauty around me. Thanks for this post and for the memories it brought back to me. Have a lovely day darling.

    Love & Hugs

    I love those pictures and the big round pool. It looks like a very special spot! I have a big place in my heart for the city of San Diego. I used to live there and miss it every day.

    Catherine, I'm happy you found my blog - it's actually my new one, the older one Across The Pond is still up and recalls the past three years of life between the US and Europe!

    I love the pics of the beach - your husband took some really good shots. A coastline in Winter is always spectacular! Your sweet pup pics are cute too!

    We share several decor loves - china and old books. Hope you show your home in Ireland some day - you are actually my first blog friend who lives there. My husband's paternal grandparents were from near The Ring of Kerry.

    Will stop by again - right now I'm off to work in my garden, busy time of year, and it's looking beautiful. Tomorrow I'll share pics of the blooming shrubs for PINK SATURDAY - you may want to join us as it's always fun and you can visit a couple of hundred bloggers.........if you have time, lol!!!!!!

    Happy weekend dear - and welcome to blogland.

    Beautiful images, it looks so restful and serene. :-)

    My fave place? Tough to pick just one, but right now, it would be inside the sanctuary of a very beautiful church I love to visit. I always have a sense of overwhelming peace there.
    Have a wonderful weekend!
    Anne
