That had to be a selection for 4 people ! You didn't finish it I hope. Afternoon Tea is quite a calming experience. I think you should do a version in New York !

No, that was for two. With some guilt, I admit that we finished it, and were served some extra scones as well. A luxurious afternoon, immediately preceded by a walking tour of Marx’s London, and followed by a long walk after to pay for the calories.

That Karl Marx gets more than his share of criticism. Very interesting read though. Did you know he fought to get a 12 month guarantee when you bought something new. Quite a novel idea at the time. Another Marxist ideology.

I don't love squirrels (from a family that calls them furry rats), but these certainly ARE adorable...

Great photos! And who knew they could swim?? That would be pretty cool to see!

Re: Red Squirrels
Unfortunately this little fellow likes to nibble away at the wiring in houses. If he finds a way into basements he can cause untold damage. He will travel through the trees and hedges attacking nests. He loves to find a garden where people will leave nuts and seeds for the over wintering birds. Very clever chap. He will soon find a way in past the "Anti Squirrel" device straight to the Bird Feeder.

Looks like a wonderful setting to enjoy the Christmas Holidays. But to get into the European style of celebrating you should extend your Christmas through to New Year and enjoy 10 days of goodwill to all men !

Hi DrFumblefinger, it was a great time. A little cold, but the fire and the beer kept us warm, lol. Hope to get to do it again sometime in the future. Thanks for the comment.

We've been replacing CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lighting) with new LED (Light Emitting Diode) type bulbs for over a year. They have multiple shapes to suit your needs. They use less than half the electricity of a CFL and last longer too. They have the added advantage of achieving full light in <0.5 seconds. Prices are dropping for all economy bulbs.

Re: Money Saving Tips, for your Big Trip – Part 3
A nice conclusion to an interesting and helpful series, Samantha. Thanks! Some people fund their travels by living very simply on the road -- keeping expenses to a few bucks a day. That might work for them, but I travel to experience a place. And that means admissions to attractions, eating good quality meals, staying at a decent hotel etc. I'm old enough that an element of comfort and civilization are important to me. I'd rather live simply at home than on the road, and these tips provide...

Some more great tips Samantha! For people with jobs that offer overtime, I've always found that is a great way to save up money quickly. It's easier to stay motivated working extra when you know the extra amount on your check funds your travel.

Glad to see that you guys enjoyed the series. It was an interesting and eye opening post. Since I wrote this, we even cut cable and are using OTA and Netflix. Saving us about $100 a month. Not much, but it's a $100 closer to living my freedom lifestyle I am working toward. Thanks again for the comments. Have a great weekend.
