London Teaser

There was a golden carriage.

(Photos by Lisa Borgnes Giramonti.)

And a dinner with Winston.

And an enchanting shop deep in the heart of Soho.

And a teen-aged dandy with a sartorial spin on the past.

And the heart-stopping charms of the English countryside.

And country houses that had me rubbing my eyes in disbelief.

And literary references everywhere.

And lots and lots of tea. All day. All the time. For absolutely no reason.

And maybe a teensy bit of champagne.

And new friends who I miss already.

And much, much more.

Part One -- in glorious color -- on Monday.
