A Trolley Service of Drinks and Light Refreshment is Available on This Train...

Antiquing in England was a wonderful business pastime for us for many years.

This April was no exception.  Dear Husbola and I love it.  Something about how the Brits do things and say things makes even the most mundane task seem much more civilized.
 Train travel.  Easy to read digital boards.  I do miss those old flip chart like boards--but these are so user friendly.
 Flower shops have a wonderful casual hap hazard look.  Gray skies make flower colors more intense I think.
Book shops are more romantic.  Titles that just say "come in and buy me NOW."
 Pub lunch.  This is steak and ale pie with fresh veg and mashed swede.  Total rib sticking yummers.
 They even have wacky "who knows what this is" kind of flowers.  This at the Chelsea Physic Garden.
 No way you could mistake this as  the flower bin at Jewel grocery store...
Corner of the bar at the Sloane Club in London where we stayed.  A little tipple here tastes better than anyplace else.

I could be an old lady in London some day....
