![]() ![]() I’m breaking the “never wear sunglasses in a picture” rule. So each hotel has a tea service readied for your arrival! I love England. The best thing about England is that no matter where you go, it’s assumed you’ll require tea. Marshmallows on a stick, covered in chocolate and chocolate stars. Our Starbucks are DEPRIVED!! Look at this goodness! Marshmallow twizzles!! WHERE ARE MY MARSHMALLOW TWIZZLES, HUH!? I have to go to England for them! And if you’re curious, these are exactly what they look like. Ooooh guardy guard, ooooh guardy guard! How you embody England! Oh guardy guard, oh guardy guard! How you embody England! Your coat is reeeeed, your hat is big… I’m too tired to make the song rhyme. I took some “postcard pictures” that day. They called it a “dry moat” because it had no water, and at some point a garden was put in there. ![]() ![]() :D They make a castle so much more… castley! ![]() Or we did… I hope we do! It’s one of my favourites because Una is coloured with this gorgeous, wispy dress of white and silver.Īn arrow slat, for inflicting violence upon opposing forces! I love a good arrow slat. George and the Dragon! We have this incredible picture book of this story. Windsor Castle! And I’m sure some of those people are native Brits. But look at those pizza dough bread batons and garlic dipping sauce! Who’s complaining? Certainly not our ten-hour-flight-veteran selves! Yes, our first meal in England was Italian food. In Windsor, before we did any major sightseeing, it was time to fill our tummies. We have seen Heathrow/London before, but it was not as extensive. Our first peek at England outside the airport–this trip. More than that, I love it! I don’t have to cook, a British man named “Scott” in a shiny purple vest brings it to me, it’s hot, it’s comforting… what’s not to love? I must clarify the salad wasn’t hot. Piggy bunny came to England with me! *girly giggles*Īnd guess what? I like airplane food. My toast tag made it almost definite that no one would mistakenly steal my suitcase, and pig rabbit sealed the deal. I packed it very full and each time I had to open it, a clothing explosion occurred. Captain Ricardo, usually just “Reecarrrrdoh!” with a Spanish accent. I stopped checking them consistently because there were too many to deal with, but you know what? Ignoring them just makes them increase! Who knew? :P (Answer: Anyone with common sense–not me.) Finally got them under 200 again! Woo! Small victory. But to have them branch out into making records, which would theoretically make them a force in the music industry, is just wrong.Avoiding emails is bad. Saying all that, I'm not virulently anti-Starbucks, and I daresay there aren't many Guardian readers who don't occasionally succumb - grudgingly or not - to the call of a Frappuccino or a Marshmallow Twizzle (an outrageously priced blob designed to be soaked in coffee). And there you go - we'll soon be graced by a label that views music as an adjunct to hot-beverage-drinking. After all, Starbucks can already claim to be a successful record retailer - sales of albums such as Ray Charles' Genius Loves Company, released by soul/jazz house Concord Records but only sold at Starbucks, have proved that people aren't averse to buying CDs in coffee shops. Is he likely to want his next record to be sold by the home of squashy leather sofas and cosy predictability?īut if McCartney won't sign, other major names will. But even if he were free, would an old 60s idealist like Macca really plight his troth to a company that's a byword for multi-national expansionism? Furthermore, the man is still a working musician who refused a Lifetime Achievement Brit Award because he considered it a prize for old fogeys. That may be easier said than done, given that both Parlophone Records and McCartney's own publicists said today that they believe he's still signed to Parlophone, his UK label since 1962. ![]()
