A Lady's Ruminations

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.

"Faith, flag and family"---they worked for us

Tories must 'return to core values'

The Conservative Party has been urged to return to the core values of "faith, flag and family" in order to win back public support.

Former minister Edward Leigh said that the party should not be afraid to proclaim its support for traditional Christian values.

In a deliberate echo of US President George Bush's successful election campaign, he said that they should combine religious ethics with patriotic appeal.

Conservatives needed to "demolish the foundations of the liberal establishment" by exposing their "fundamental flaws", he said.
