Long Island has everything except a real honest-to-goodness pub. Near my house, of course.Marchelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201825708442679157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341202594941781572.post-49513979890787143962014-04-13T02:54:50.392+01:002014-04-13T02:54:50.392+01:00Very picturesque post.

Another friend of mine posted some shots she did in Trafalgar Square. That and this post have made me homesick for London today. I hope to return. I really enjoyed the three months I spent there as an exchange student.VM Sehy Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03832671940615894037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341202594941781572.post-14789005183942465042014-04-09T20:40:42.141+01:002014-04-09T20:40:42.141+01:00There are several companies to choose from, and se...There are several companies to choose from, and several speeds of journey.

Yes, that's the official name. Since my children are out of school now I don't have first hand experience of it. If I had a third child I would strongly consider the International Baccalaureate, which my children's school is now offering. http://www.gwc.org.uk/our-school/senior-school/curriculum/the-international-baccalaureate-diploma-programme/<br />Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269887100694066103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341202594941781572.post-66267735963501174502014-04-09T18:54:20.150+01:002014-04-09T18:54:20.150+01:00A lovely post, Linda!
