Websites come and go -- that's what makes surfing exciting. I've promised to put links to some of my favorite sites on our pages and have added some others which may not be here long.
BED & BREAKFAST, ENGLAND
My London home. My friend Shirley Royle offers one of the best B&B experiences going. Minutes from the PRO, 10 minute walk to the District Line Tube, resident cats who are friendly and comfy rooms. No rooms with private bath, but washbasins and tea/coffee making supplies and TV in each room. For reservations and inquiries: shirleyroyle1@activemail.co.uk
