Just a gallimaufry of photos 📸
My hometown, Ipoh, earned the moniker "Bougainvillea City".
Colorful bougainvilleas festoon buildings and houses, and streets are awash with the dazzling blooms all year round.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful view, and having fun and time with friends is also a good thing. Lovely flowers too.
ReplyDeleteDearest Veronica,
ReplyDeleteAlways lovely to visit here and it brings back fond memories.
On our way to central Java we always passed through a magical bougainvillea city—miss seeing that!
You sure know how to keep a friendship afloat and the three amiga pictures are just lovely.
Hugs,

Bougainvillea is so exotic and beautiful. You have a great view of the city from your balcony. Cheers to your friendship; I hope you’ll be still acting as young as 30s despite of your actual age.

You have some of the loveliest sky views from your balcony. The red flowers are very pretty. I always have to stop for red flowers and red birds. The pink bougainvilleas is growing beautifully wrapping around the fence. The burgers look delicious, and the cookies are perfect for the Summer days. It's nice to have good neighbors, isn't it? Have a pleasant week.

ReplyDeleteLoved the photos full of smiles heheh and all that food again looks delicious looks beautiful there thanks for sharing :-)

The cookies are VERY cool. Don't see many bougainvillias here except in the warmer parts of the country but they are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteVery heartwarming to see you with your friends. Lovely that you have such a close friendship and can enjoy each other's company. Your photos are outstanding! Thank you so much for sharing them, and I wish you a very happy week.
ReplyDeleteOf all the spots I've been in London, I haven't been to Horseguards, just seen it on television! I just LOVE those cookies!
ReplyDeleteRed periwinkle is beautiful - I've never seen that color
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful friendship! 30 years! I love those cookies. I might not want to eat them. Are they good? Must be nice walking around the streets with those blooms surrounding you.
ReplyDeleteI have seen bougainvilleas in so many countries and they always look beautiful. Not sure if they can grown in the UK though. Maybe in the South?
ReplyDeleteHello Veronica,
ReplyDeleteLove the photos of you and your friends. The food look delicious. I love the flowers, bougainvillea is my favorite. Thank you for sharing your post. Take care, enjoy your day!
Good friends with good talk and good food. It doesn't get much better than that. Wonderful sky photo and I remember Bougainvilleas from my years in Central America. They were everywhere and so beautiful. The cookies made me smile, and are a work of art. This post made my day.
ReplyDeleteHello dear Veronica, and sorry for getting back to you so late. At present
ReplyDeleteI have several projects that keep me busy and I rarely blog. But today I manage at least a few blog visits.
I love bougainvilleas and envy you a bit that in your country you can see these magnificent blooms all year round. Here they are potted plants that do not thrive well in my home.
Your sky views are always stunning!
So happy to see you with your long term friends - it's so precious when friendships last for so long!
Wonderful food photos again and I really like the funny bathing beauties!
All the best from Austria, Traude

ReplyDeleteSeraphina is a pretty name, thank you for sharing. I will have to look that up and read about her. I know when the time comes, Jess will have picked a dear name for the baby. : )

ReplyDeleteHello my old friend, and how are you doing? Great I hope. I always loved your Posts and the different food you made. I took off for a while due to back surgery, but I'm trying to come back now. I forgot how to blog believe it or not, but our Sandee here has been teaching me & helping me so much! She's a sweetheart! Nice to say hello to you once again!!! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteAnother enjoyable and beautiful blog to look at and read in the process. Greetings, Tine and wishing you beautiful summer days.

ReplyDeleteSuch a blessing to maintain such wonderful friendships. Love the cookies and the gorgeous pink flowers
ReplyDeleteYour food photos make me hungry!
ReplyDeleteThose bougainvillea are spectacular!
The bouganvillas in your City are beautiful -- I would sure have to practice how to spell the flower though if I lived in a city that had earned that title -- I make a mistake every time. Love your collection and laughed at the cartoon (my friends and I are even older than that ;>)
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that you're friends and still got to meet up. Bougainvilleas were my MIL's favorite. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!
ReplyDeleteFun array of photos.Love the spray of pink flowers. Thanks for sharing with me.
ReplyDeleteLove those bouganvilleas. We have them in Florida, and they grow wild, just like in Malaysia.
ReplyDeleteThat is so wonderful that you still have a great friendship with 2 lovely ladies. Those bougainvilleas are amazing.
