whenever i would travel for work (sans fam) to a big city i'd remember that there is a city girl in me! it's kinda awesome to be a single woman in a city and just tool around exploring and taking in the culture.

speaking of fannies ....

have you been to fortnum and mason? their tea section is unbelievable. I recommend the Contessa Grey.

there's also a spirits section where they have tastings.

easily spent $200 on tea and gin there!
