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.

London Attacked Again

This morning I woke up to the news that London had been attacked again.

Four bombs. Three subways. One bus.

Thankfully, it does not appear that there were no major injuries or any deaths.

Apparently the bombs did not go off correctly.

Reports suggest only the detonators on the devices went off.

Detectives investigating the attacks are working on the basis that the bombs were not properly primed, sources have said.

That could explain eyewitness accounts of suspects fleeing the scenes of at least some of the blasts.
Two men have been arrested, but no word on if they were the terrorists from the subway cars and bus.

If the Nazi bombings of London didn't scare the English from their resolve, some little flys like these terrorists aren't going to either.
