In the Mood for London

This post is just for fun!

The countdown for departure begins!  Less than 4 weeks before departure....and it's still cool in London, with temperature still between 62 and 67 degrees so far.  So, please plan for plenty of layers as we are likely to have cool mornings and evenings, even if it warms up a bit in the coming weeks.

While you are contemplating your wardrobe, why not immerse in the culture with books and movies set in the location of our destination?

I just finished reading the book Lady Almina and The Real Downton Abbey.  I'll be sending this up to the Pennsylvania travelers to read if you think you have time before your departure> my roomie couldn't wait and she ordered it for herself.  It really does bring Highclere Castle to life knowing the history of the real American heiress.


Coming up 23 June 2016 is the latest Independence Day sequel...look for it after our return.  Click here for the trailer> Independence Day: Resurgence Official Trailer.
I missed the March release this year of London Has Fallen. But who wouldn't like to see Gerard Butler as the hero? Click here for London has Fallen trailer.

Enough of aliens and terrorists!
Let's get nostalgic with Notting Hill: you may want to stroll the shops on Sunday in Notting Hill.

I haven't seen First Night yet,  though it was released in 2013 in the United States and 2010 for U.K. It is sure to priovide great music, comedy, and lovely countryside English scenery with Sarah Brightman and Richard E.Grant.

It's available at Amazon Nexflix for viewing.

The same director is known for Much Ado about Nothing and The Madness of King George.







The newest book about the royal ladies is Game of Crowns.
I'm hoping to start this one soon!
