As you know I'm a complete anglophile myself and only wish I could lay a stronger 'claim' to old Blighty, but at least I've studied English lit and learned to know, and love, so much about these Isles. (It's a good thing I booked a trip to London yesterday, otherwise reading your lovely post would have caused me *pain*! ;)) xxJoanna Ulfsdotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02487552546576189641noreply@blogger.com
