It’s no secret that England holds a special place in my heart. From the city to the countryside there is a theme of Old-World charm and romantic beauty that is unmatched by any other location. The breakneck pace that this world seems to run at suddenly slows to a graceful rhythm. Ravishing gardens, lush hillside, and fascinating architecture are only …
