Oh, Mother Nature knew it was British Week because she gifted us the rain that has been falling since today.

As seen in the photo just above (perhaps on the right), it captures what immediately comes to mind when I think of Britain – gardens. Soft, vibrant and full of Mother Nature’s various ‘rooms’ of seasonal beauty. And of course, this bright green outdoor loveseat beckons to sit and relax. Add a hot cuppa (because it was raining when I took the picture), bring along a good book or magazine and this vignette is quintessentially British in my mind. Where it was captured at the Schreiner Iris Garden, and later in this week’s post schedule, I’ll share a full tour post (video and photos) of this special place. But first!

Pour a favorite pot of tea, tuck in and get ready for a week of British comfort!

Yes, this year’s British Week is all about how comfortable and welcoming we are inspired by British culture, because whether you’re planning a trip to the UK or not, all of us self-proclaimed Anglophiles can enjoy being inspired at home.

As long-time readers of TSLL will know, this week (May 17-24 – always the third full week) has become your destination every day, twice a day, to discover something British-inspired – British characters and entertainment, travel recommendations and ideas, trusted and new brands worth exploring, something interesting to drink and eat. Expect two new posts every day this week starting today Saturday Then, on Sunday, May 24, the final post will share the five winners of the giveaway (one open to everyone who subscribes to Free weekly newsletter)

So, let’s get started, shall we? First, let me walk you through the specials not to be missed this week. And then further down, you’ll be introduced to the first giveaway and the first post of TSLL’s 8th Annual British Week!
