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, Andrea Bocelli!

From Fox411:

Opera singer Andrea Bocelli refused to sing "Ave Maria" at Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ crazy wedding on Saturday. The reason: He didn’t want to disrespect the Roman Catholic Church.

That makes him the only Catholic who actually took a stand as Cruise, who was born Catholic, orchestrated a non-Catholic Church sanctioned wedding right in the Vatican’s backyard. Not even Holmes’ poor parents, whose other three daughters were married in the faith, could put a stop to the proceedings.
This is the ONLY thing I will EVER post about the Cruise-Holmes wedding (such as it was).

I love Andrea Bocelli's music and am delighted to see him stand up for the Catholic Church. "Ave Maria" is a beautiful song, in honor of Mary, Mother of God, and performing it at the wacko wedding of a couple who had a child before the marriage would quite dishonor the Holy Mother.

Bravo, Andrea! God bless you!
