I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

Excellent British Sites

I was just doing a little searching on England and found these wonderful sites. I thought I would share them.

The first one, Visit Britain is the official travel site of the UK. You can look up places to stay, places to visit, events, transportation, and more. There are sections for different areas of the UK: England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and also Guernsey and Jersey.

You can also create a travel plan on the site and use a currency converter to check prices.

It looks like a very helpful website if you are planning a trip to Britain, which I hope to do in the not-too-distant future.

The second site is even more exciting: British History. I have a degree in history and British is my favorite and specialty.

You'll fine all sorts of British history (obviously), timelines, recipes, competitions, research tools, time periods, articles, and more. You can search specific dates, parks, clothing, nautical history, military history, buildings, monuments, literature, maps, libraries, and so much more.

I know I am going to enjoy spending lots of time on this site.
