    Thank you, you dear, sweet, wonderful man for posting those great pictures. Oh I miss England so..
    I love every single itty bitty second I was there. I toured Westminster Abbey and it was so grand, so holy, so historic, so INCREDIBLE. I spent hours and hours there by myself soaking up all the beauty and wonder and history of this incredible wonder.
    I stood in front of tombs and said prayers, wondered what their life was like, marveled at their strength and courage oh so long ago. What it meant to live in 1304 and be near sighted, have a tooth ache, a broken bone, an eye infection, lice, childbirth, never having a shower or a really clean home but risking your life and freedom for your country to make it better and stronger. Amazing people. To write laws, fight in a war, no pain meds, no idea of how to heal a cut or a sword wound but they went on to fight for England. Amazing souls. To write such beautiful poetry, paint such incredible paintings, to build the Abby and other such buildings. All the man power with shovels and bare hands.............. The workers probably didn't have shoes, maybe never a decent meal, maybe something as simple as a fresh orange in their life but they worked and worked to create such beauty that we marvel and are in awe a thousand years later. The castles, burgs, Abbys are a testamont to what man can do with grace and goodness, talent and hard work. Their beauty is greater then most of us have ever seen and it is truly a work of art as is a great painting. It is a legacy they have built not just for their children but for hundreds of generations to come and hundreds more, a place to worship and come together, a place of beauty and refinment a place of goodness and a place that holds the souls of many who changed the world.
    Westminster Abby how I adore thy.

    Oh and yes if I could live in such amazing beauty as these rooms I would.
    The beauty of the artwork is breathtaking as is thee detail of every little nook and cranny. I so admire all the hard work in these beautiful rooms.
    If I could live with gold, crystal and satin why not? Why should beauty not surround me?
    People with money, real money own these kinds of homes too. Because they are beautiful.
    If you have not been in one of these rooms, well you can't understand. The picture does not do in justice, it does not evoke a feeling. One needs to be in a room such as these and then yes the feeling comes over you.
    Sort of like explaning the beauty of a cat to a person who has never seen one, there are no words to discribe the voice, the sweetness, the love, those faces. I could go on but really unless you have been there, you can't grasp it.

    I am sure the White House has some incredible interiors too so don't throw stones! I think these pictures are wonderful! I am sure the corgis occasionally pee on the carpets and I am sure they sleep on the beds and sofas in Buck House
