Our Cuppa
The UK is just our cup of tea. Not that we really drink tea, but, when in Rome…er London. We’ve been going there regularly for over fifteen years now. It feels like a home away from home. As full time travelers, it is a place to not only reset our Schengen Visa clock, but it is a place to refresh and recharge. But we’re still learning every time we visit. Here are a few things we’ve learned and that you might not know.
Finding Balance
Life has changed over the past month. Big changes. Great changes. A new season of our lives. Time to reconnect with family and old friends. How are we finding balance in these changing times?
London For History Nerds Like Us
What I love the most about London is that it is a city of juxtaposition. Towering skyscrapers next to a 1000 year old castle. Roman walls and traffic jams. Narrow streets with names like Poultry Ave, Pudding Lane, Crutched Friars, and Ironmonger Lane, in a city with some of the most expensive real estate in the world. You can buy a $130M yacht at Harrods, or drink a pint at a tavern that was rebuilt in 1666 after the Great Fire. While I love all the modern aspects of this city, my history loving heart skips a beat just thinking of all there is to see in London.
London Calling…A Love Affair
Depending on your interests, London Calling can either reference the BBC identification during World War 2, or the song by the Clash, released in 1979. I like to think of it as the anticipatory buzz that I feel when I know I’ll be visiting this great city.
