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.

Our 400-Year Anglo-Alliance

I am an Anglophile, so I have to post this.

From Iain Murray at the Corner:

400 years ago today...

On May 14, 1607, a group of English settlers landed on Jamestown Island and established the colony of Virginia. In one respect, this means that today is the 400th Anniversary of the Anglo-American alliance, an alliance that has endured revolution, war and distrust and survived. Considering that puts the current problems into perspective.
