Bleh.<br /><br />However - I am intrigued and awed at your husbands illustrious past with his regiment and those red coats and hats guarding the Queen! How grand! Confession: They fascinated me as a child and I used to put black olives on my fingers and march them around the table playing Queen's Guards when I was little. My mother gave me an early love for England. Ah . . . memories and happy that some things never change.<br />Joy!<br />Kathy<br />P.S.

We just watched an amazing television show on PBS called the Secrets Of The Tower Of London and I thought of you! They went behind the scenes and gave the history of the White Tower, a tour of Tower Bridge and spoke with some of the Yeoman Warders.

I've linked up twice and it's not showing up but it's telling me I have already linked up. Your Hammersley teacup is just gorgeous! I love the delicate violets and the shape.
