My change was not as dramatic as yours but I did grow up in a more countryside area of New England and now live on the west coast in Santa Monica near the ocean. I love and appreciate them both. I also loved the movie Calendar Girls.<br />I am visiting from lovely Suzanne at Privet and Holly.Blooming Rose Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06927029523022093567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1815317328189342095.post-43283205997491329472011-11-30T09:18:26.190+10:002011-11-30T09:18:26.190+10:00B L O O M

Although,<br />I do think that certain places<br />just feel more like "you" than<br />others, don't you think?<br />I loved The Calendar Girls<br />and now I want to rent it,<br />again {or maybe buy it}! I<br />am also going to try and find<br />The Trip. Your pictures are<br />gorgeous and I SO enjoyed<br />looking through them, with<br />you.
