Introducing Northern England
It's interesting to learn about another country from someone who actually lives there, rather than from a tourist bureau.

5 Fabulous Uses for Fennel in Your Everyday Cooking
That's very interesting to know, frankbeswick! I have only grown it in pots myself, and mostly for the aromatic fronds as it's hard with our weather conditions to get a full, large bulb to grow.

Churches in Italy: 5 Tips for Visiting
Exactly. It is important to remember that while these buildings are beautiful and worth visiting as a tourist, they are also places of worship to be respected.

Churches in Italy: 5 Tips for Visiting
Well said. Too many people think that they can enter a place of worship dressed as they please, without consideration of the cultural ethos of the location.

5 Fabulous Uses for Fennel in Your Everyday Cooking
Fennel is a great herb, but here is a quick tip. If you want to grow your own, grow it in a pot, as it exhibits allelopathy, which is the ability to suppress the growth of plants grown near it. They can be miserably small and weak.

5 Fabulous Uses for Fennel in Your Everyday Cooking
I love fish stews and never tried them with fennel, so I'll do that. I often use fennel in a dish of oven-roasted veggies, just like you say. I combine carrots, garlic, onion, and other veggies with beets and feta cheese.

Why I Enjoy Being a Newbie Photographer
A Sony Cyber-shot is a great choice! That was one of the first digital cameras I purchased, too. It still does a great job.

Film Review: The Theory of Everything
sheilamarie, It's inspiring and a wonderful tribute to Stephen Hawking's brilliance and resilience as well as to Eddie Redmayne's ability to capture and convey Stephen Hawking's personableness. It's a film which I expect to view again and again.

Introducing Northern England
I'd love to explore all of the British Isles more. When I think of England, I am more inclined to think outside the London box. Love the teas you've mentioned by the way. We get the Yorkshire one here, too.
