Cheers

Ahhhh, London! What a fabulous place! I've been twice--once for a long weekend (no, I'm not rich, it was a killer deal on Virgin Atlantic!) with my husband (then-fiance), and once as part of my husband's and my honeymoon. So there's romance  as well as nostalgia in it for me.

I have a love of the UK that maybe I should be called a Britophile (a la France's "Francophiles"). Such a small place that has played an enormous part of the world's history--and an enormous part of American history. Beautiful country sides, amazing metro areas, castles, kings and queens whose influence has reached much farther and longer than just their reigning years! If you ever get a chance to travel, go to the UK! People are amazing, the stories are amazing, the architecture and landscapes are amazing....Did I mention it was amazing?



Below is a link to a cool bit of art by redletterwords on etsy.com. Simple, graphic, bold and cool--just looking at it sends a rush of memories of many rides on the Tube (the underground railway). Browse through her site further and you'll find this:



Which of course is just in time for Valentine's day (also comes in pink)! Take a virtual gander in her shop--she has a variety of themes available for you.  Maybe you'll find a little romance...
