Wow to be in England on a sunny day When the sun shines brightly and clouds are far away With trees looking svelte and beautifully dressed Wow to be in England when the earth’s so blessed. Wow to be in England, glowing in the sun Children seen outdoors, enjoying summer’s fun Birds singing sweetly, an entertaining sound Wow to be in England when sunshine hits ground. Wow to be in England at the summer's cusp When green leaves are changing to red, gold and rust Falls a splendid time of year when leaves are gone Wow to be in England when trees have naught on.

Hi sister Beryl, there's no place like home, although living in London, has changed so much over the years, I do miss the old days,things were much better then.

Andrea, England is my country, we do get plenty of rain, but we’ve had some very hot weather for some weeks lately, another scorcher tomorrow is forecast and for days to come. Having said that England is beautiful, lovely countryside, seasides, so many nice places to visit. Thank you, Beryl

I've worked and visited in the UK many times. Honestly, though, I don't think the sun shone too often while I was there. LOL It's always with us here in Texas. I really enjoyed this Beryl! :)

The weather is very mixed here in England, for a few weeks it’s been extremely sunny and very hot, more to come according to the forecast, looking forward to some cooler days and nights. Thank you Linda :) Beryl

I've never been to England, but you sure make it sound nice! (when the trees are wearing clothes and when they're not!)

You sum up old Blighty just nicely, Beryl. Strange that for no apparent reason… I had you down as hailing from accross the pond. Enjoyed, although I hope the trees are gonna keep their leaves a tad longer yet. Terry
