I loved Play School as a child. Jemima, Humpty, Big Ted and Little Ted. Brian Cant. But one of my most loved things was the 'Through The Window' section. Which brings me round neatly to introduce this blogtrain where we will, if it all works according to plan, take you on a look through windows all around the world. A trip that should take you round the UK, to the US, to Australia, to Europe and who knows where...
This is the view from my Swindon, Wiltshire, UK, window today:
A grey, dull, some would say, typically English day. This was take at around 2pm this afternoon. And because it looks like this outside, this is the view you would have seen inside:
Yes, they are playing the Disney trivia game, apparently No.1 daughter won! No my son does not normally wear such highly 'fashionable' (fashionable in the 60s) trousers but was showing off his new costume to Grandma.
So what next? Or should I say where to next? Well click on over here and check out Debs, not too far from me, just a hop, skip and a jump to the county of Hertfordshire and she'll tell you where to go from there (politely tell you that is!). I've never been to Hertfordshire (those few words remind me of a song, guesses on a comment below), it's probably one of the few counties I haven't but it does have one thing in common with Swindon. A Magic Roundabout. No not to be confused with this one but these ones, here and here.
Have fun on your travels, I know I'm looking forward to looking through those windows. The only question is, will it be the round one, the square one or the arch one?

Great to see you Jools! Playschool is a big favourite here too.
Enjoyed the view, mine's pretty overcast too!
i love the playshcool through the window connection. thanks for being part of the blog train
Yes, it looked pretty much like that here too today! I like that Playschool connection. I wonder if I can find some sun if I keep blog hopping
Pretty rubbish weather here as well!!!
Great pics - I relate to the rain lol.... Thanks for sharing :-)
Hi,from a wet Hertfordshire
First time visitor from Shimelle's. I've not made it by your blog until today, but I must say I really enjoyed it! Thanks for all you've done in the forum, too! :)
Love the views, both indoors and outdoors. Even a dreary day it's a good view.
thanks for sharing your view. That is great you are all inside and cozy playing games today.
Dull outside but looks fun inside!
Woo!!! Squeal squeal! Uh hmm, excuse me while I try to control myself. Roundabouts were one of the main things we've remembered from our trips to England. They are really neat. The Magical ones sound a bit complicated (even more so for an American used to driving "on the wrong side of the road." Loved the picture from your front window and the game going on inside. I'd like about half of your rain if you could send it West to New Mexico - but I'm afraid that wouldn't really work since weather tends to flow west to east.
It's grey outside, but it looks pretty happy inside!
Great outside picture and even better inside picture! Thanks for letting us in :)
Such a sweet inside scene, with everyone playing a game together! A great view!
I love both your views too. And even though our weather was sunny yesterday, it was rainy for most of last week.
Hii Jools - in responce to your comment on my blog. I grew up in Scotland, my parents and sister are still there and I'm moving back in 10 days - probably why I've been doing some blogging with a Scotland focus recently
It does look dreary outside but very cozy inside.
Love the intro and inside playing games is definitely the place to be :0)
What a lovely view of your neighborhood you have. I love the English style houses -- so different from the Southwestern, tiled roofs where I live in the U.S. (Arizona). This blog around the world trip has been so fun!
Great view! This was a great idea!
Great view! Love the look to the English streets - they look so much more inviting than the ones in the US.
Love the look of your neighborhood! Looks like a nice family afternoon! TFS!
