About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: United States

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.

Bravo, Sydney!

"Sydney adopts New York counter-terror campaign"
SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia's largest city, Sydney, has adopted a New York-style counter-terrorism campaign, urging residents to report unattended bags or suspicious activity around public transport.

Adopting the New York slogan: "If you see something, say something," the A$200,000 (US$150,00) campaign will be used in radio and newspaper advertisements and on posters around public transport stations and signs on the sides of buses.

"We want to get this message out to commuters, 'you are our eyes and ears, our first line of defense against those that would do us harm'," New South Wales state premier Bob Carr said at Sydney's Central railway station on Thursday.
