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.

"We’re not free to party, we’re not free at home"

The London Times has a story on Iranian youth. They want to be free, but feel that even voting in the upcoming elections won't make a difference.

“We don’t have any privacy,” began Irbad, 21, who is unemployed. . “We’re not free in the street, we’re not free to party, we’re not free at home. They can search us at any time. It’s not just one thing. It’s all of it. I want life to change completely. I want freedom.”
