The Grasmere gingerbread and digestive biscuits have been stocked (I must confess, already more than a few enjoyed 🙃), rain has been ordered for the weekly weather forecast, and Yorkshire Gold hot tea is being sipped frequently.

Yep, while this may admittedly be any other day of the year, as you and I both have a penchant for British everyday details, this week is a special one here on TSLL. Because it is the annual British Week. 🇬🇧🫖❤️☔️

Already that special time of year has returned again to celebrate all things British with fellow TSLL readers here on the blog, so gather up a favorite British nibble (purchased or homemade), pour yourself a hot cuppa and let’s get started!

As long-time readers of TSLL will know, this week (May 18-24 – always the third full week in May) becomes your destination to enjoy popping ’round each day, twice a day, to discover something British-inspired – from exploring British characters and entertainment, travel recommendations and ideas, trusted as well as new brands worth exploring, food & drink, clothing and anything that might be of interest to Anglophiles. Look forward to two new posts each day this week starting today through Saturday. Then, on Sunday May 25th, the concluding post will share the seven winners of the six giveaways.

I don’t know about you, but I am ready to cozy-in, read a good British-based cosy mystery and connect with fellow Anglophiles.
