Britain’s Top Ten Tea Rooms
Let’s face it – nobody on earth “does tea” like the British! After all, this is a population which consumes 165 million cups of it, daily! It is the national drink. And whether you are a Duke or a doorman, a barrister or a barmaid, tea is timeless. (Tea‟s antioxidants make it good for you, too!) […]

They Totally Nailed the Literary Tour…
I would highly recommend Across the Pond Vacations. They totally nailed the Literary tour of the UK and Ireland that I sought, even making recommendations of things I hadn’t thought of doing or seeing, which made the whole trip great!
