Here and There...

With the British summer going weird and unpredictable as ever, I've been lucky to capture the few sunny and cheerful summer days that we had so far.

Images below were taken at The Grove in Hertfordshire which is just 35 minutes from London. It is a magnificent 18th century house set in a 300-acre of parkland. It has an 18-hole golf course which hosted the 2006 World Golf Championships.











What makes the place more interesting is that they actually have a beach...yeah! a beach nestled inside the estate!!! It is located inside the walled garden and it offers a wide area of golden sand complete with a volleyball court, spa treatment, beach bar and beach huts.

Days after the "The Grove" trip, Zach and I joined the company's annual summer party held at Chessington World of Adventure where we tried and enjoyed the rides, games and zoo animals.

Ming, the pictures are beautiful. Is that lavender?

Maping, yeah! they're lavender and the scent really envelopes you when you're sitting in one of those benches.
