Hello!
It's Lindsay back again! As I mentioned in the "about us" section, I spent a few years living in England when I was younger and have been back many times to visit. As much as I love the bustle of London, my
favorite part of England is the countryside, particularly the charming towns in the Cotswolds whose cobblestone streets and thatched-roofed houses make you feel like you've walked onto a Hollywood set.
Travel Tips:
- While it can be good to have a list of a few towns you'd like to see, a lot of the fun comes from stumbling across towns you don’t know anything about, so get a GPS and be adventurous!
- Take a tea break and go into a local shop for a scone and crumpet.
- Never leave your hotel without an umbrella...unless of course you're in need of a shower!

Did you know...
that the United Kingdom had a woman prime minister, Margaret Thatcher, from 1979 to 1990? She led the Conservative Party and was known as the "iron lady"because of her strong leadership style. No way was she going to be pushed aside by those men!
Thatcher was the longest-serving Prime Minister of the 20th century and currently the only woman who has ever held the position. Her strength and smarts always inspire me when I think of everything she did while in office. It seems time for the U.K. have another female leader... and the United States to have its first!

As you plan your trip to England, I'll leave you with a quote from Margaret Thatcher herself for some inspiration!
"You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it." - Margaret Thatcher (BrainyQuote)
