About Me

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.

Say Some Prayers for the Iron Lady

AP: Margaret Thatcher Admitted to Hospital---

LONDON - Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was admitted to hospital on Wednesday after feeling faint.

Thatcher, who governed Britain from 1979 to 1990, turned 80 in October and has grown frail in recent years following a series of small strokes. The Conservative Party said she would be kept in Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London overnight as a precaution and doctors were confident she would be well enough to leave Thursday morning.

Hospital spokesman Mark Purcell said Thatcher had been brought to the emergency room about 5 p.m.

"She has had a number of tests and she will remain in hospital overnight as a precaution. She will be assessed by doctors in the morning," he said. "Her condition is stable and comfortable and she is now resting."
