Jelly Babies
the best come from Marks and Spencer. I don't trust the Haribo ones.
---another tip from Visiting England. :)
Two themes of our England Trip:
Sherlock Holmes. Visited the Holmes museum. They have lovely high-quality deerstalkers for which you should budget 45 pounds (80 bucks). I couldn't bring myself to buy but totally should have.
--St. Bart's is about three blocks from St. Paul's. How surreal to stand there and look up to where Sherlock was standing on the roof. They filmed on location and it is really weird to be right there. The ambulance stand is exactly as portrayed in s3. wow!
--Dartmoor. Didn't really know where to go but stayed in a lovely place called the Castle Inn near Lydford Gorge. The gorge is a spectacular hike of stunning natural beauty (not involved with the moors at all). But the funny thing was the full size portrait of ACD on the wall at the Inn, and the little pic next to it of Tom Baker playing Sherlock, and standing in that very spot!!!!
Tom Baker was kind of the other continuing theme, as my souvenir from the Who Experience was a print with his postage stamp and his autograph on it!
And, at a book store, we found a book by Tom Baker, the Boy who Kicked Pigs, no idea yet whether it is any good or not. :P
In Cardiff there was a souvenir shop at Roald Dahl Plass that had great pins. The ones I chose said:
May the 4th be with you, plus one with stripes like the famous scarf
I CAN simply walk into Mordor
High Functioning Sociopath and Sherlock Lives and
Do what I do: hold tight and pretend it's a plan
