The little island that shocked the world…she is truly beautiful, like a fine racehorse always exceeding herself.  When she hopped the pond, she brought with her such delicacies – Shakespeare, the Stones, Carnaby Street fashions, Savile Row snobbery, an entire empire of red, white and blue. Oh, and best of all, the elusive and rarely sighted Cherry Bakewell. My first time in London I felt a punch in my stomach that was so exciting – I was finally THERE!  The place where all things cool originated.  I felt small and insignificant and garishly American, but oh so very happy.  However, I lived on cheese toasts since I couldn’t bear the food. Oh well. One disappointment is not so bad.
