We are blessed and honoured to have so many loyal readers - we're currently averaging 1,000 hits a day.

Seven things about us:
Victoria:
Despite appearances to the contrary, I live in the early 19th century – except for the plumbing.
I am incredibly lazy.
I hide it as well as I can.
I am a super procrastinator.
I never go anywhere without a book in my bag.
I alternate between being obsessively neat and horribly messy.
I buy a lot of make-up but wear very little.
Kristine:
My current addiction is York peppermint patties.
And Farmville.
I'm incredibly lazy and rarely worry about hiding the fact.
I cannot live without books.
Or botox.
I love Ralph Lauren.
When I die, my ashes will be scattered in London.
US:
We’d rather be in London.
We’re more likely to be at our computer keyboards rather than anywhere else.
We will brave sore feet and any other hardships to take in one more sight (in England only).
Our husbands basically understand, though they like to pretend they don’t.
We are bound and determined to own a UK bolthole before we die.
We are both working under the assumption that she who dies with the most books wins.
We are both sorely tried by the fact that we weren't born in the 19th Century. Although if we had been, there wouldn't be any peppermint patties. Or botox. Or indoor plumbing. Or really good make up . . . . .
