Two years living in Savannah 🏡 I still very much miss (besides the obvious of friends and family - so excited borders are finally able to reopen!!!!!) prawn cocktail crisps, Double Deckers and Heinz Beans being ridiculously cheap, but feel very lucky to have managed to make lovely friends and be settled even with the grossness of the pandemic. 🌺 here are some of my favourite photos to celebrate… and yes I really am obsessed with Spanish moss!
“Hello everyone! It’s cold in Savannah so I’ve borrowed Lizzie’s scarf!”
The Davenport House was completed in 1820, and (as the name suggests!) built by Isaiah Davenport.
In honour of us upping sticks and jumping across the pond two years ago this week from Sheffield to Savannah, I’m going to share some Savannah history posts this week (I’ve been meaning to do this basically for the last two years… better late than never!), beginning with the Savannah institution of Leopold’s Ice Cream…
Princess Ka’iulani, on the site of her beloved home of ‘Āinahau, Waikiki.
All I did on the walk across the Brooklyn Bridge was celebrate how beautiful and historic a piece of engineering it is by yelling constantly at @_tinyhistorian about how much I love bridges 🏙
