Not everything still questioning the whole thing, everything I need even these links people keep telling me about they are helpful and all but I'm a person who can't read something for a very long time
You can ask questions in here if you like.
i'm off for a few days but back soon.
You're a Cold Dark Roommate now, so this lot will help you.
(I hope).

Thank you, Linda. I might take you up on the offer. :) We're thinking London and a possible quick trip to Ireland.

@Moozillion, your tea with the Queen looks amazing!!
Well London is well and truly my stamping ground - I can definitely help with any questions on that :)

Q. Why is the Prime Minister only seen in the evening?
A. Because he is known as PM not AM! :D
Ah, now here in Wales we do have AMs (Assembly Members) - they must get up earlier than the PMs!
They are elected members of the Welsh Assembly who meet at the Senedd in Cardiff Bay)
We don't have our own Prime minister, the leader is called the First Minister for Wales.

The menu was varied and all quite good! One brave friend got the Steak and Kidney Pie! When I was working in New Zealand I tried steak and kidney pie: it was basically a mouthful of liver, and I am NOT a liver fan!!!!! :( But this was much more like a steak pie, apparently, so they may have tweaked the recipe to be more acceptable to Americans! Someone else got Beans on Toast, and we had both savory and sweet scones. I really liked the texture of the crumpet!!!!! But it needed more butter!!!! :p
The Tea Room itself was originally a small house, and each room was set up with its own English theme. We were in the Britannia Room, right next to the Churchill Room (the photo of the Churchill room is above- rather than tables and chairs it had a large leather couch, stuffed chairs and a coffee table to eat on). Lots of tea ware and "exclusively" English food items to choose from! I brought home a packet of McVities Digestives!!!! :p
A lovely time was had by all, and we're already talking about going back! I don't know how "authentic" it really is, but it's good enough for us! :)
What a lovely place and you look quite at home next to our Liz.
The meat in the Scotch eggs looks darker than we tend to have here, but I don't eat them so I could be wrong, and I like my crumpets toasted more, so that the edges are crispy and with loads of butter! Delicious - I'll have to go and buy some for breakfast.

A flying visit and a quick hello from me I am taking my sister to Cardiff airport in the early hours of Sunday at 4 a.m so going to try to get a few hours sleep before I go.
Sorry I missed Adam but I have wished him a good trip the last couple of nights.
Looks like @JoesMum is having a fabulous time too with all that beautiful architecture to enjoy, and I enjoyed Gillian's jokes:)
Congratulations to all those torts who have made the calendar and hope the rest of you are all well.
I expect I will see you sometime tomorrow but Nos da for now.
