A fair girl luxuriating in the sensations of spring, grass underneath her, flowers all around her, trees sprawling above, her face inspiring viewer to wonder her thoughts and feelings. John William Waterhouse's "Ophelia".

I LOVE š¬š§John Waterhouseās painting of āThe Lady of Shalottā!
Have you seen it at the Tate Britain in London? Itās based on a beautiful poem by š¬š§Lord Alfred Tennyson.
Both the poem and paintings are utterly gorgeous!
This is my favourite by JWW. I visit it every so often in Manchester.
Hylas and the Nymphs. 
Thanks! Not familiar this painting. I also love JWWās Ophelia painting (from
š¬š§Shakespeareās play āHamletā). I try to visit both whenever in London.
How far is Liverpool from London? I met 2 lovely š¬š§Liverpool girls while traveling. A (medical) doctor and her friend on a birthday girlsā trip. We all hung out for several hours together and there was some impromptu music sessions.
Around 220 miles. 3-4 hrs by car depending on traffic. Interesting bunch arenāt we š. We also know how to party.
Oh thatās far! They were super fun, lovely girls!
And yes, Iām quite aware UK folks are fun to go out on town with!
You could get the train but pretty expensive these days.
The trains in UK are great. Gorgeous views in the countryside!
Its always big topic in the UK. Late, expensive and slow.
The train/rail system is much better, connected and utilized than USA tho.
True, I found that after traveling the US.
Train system in big coastal cities and Chicago are good. Thatās about it.
Itās baffling that they havenāt spent good money to sort it all out. Should have bullet trains by now.
