Are you just visiting London? I am English and have a lot of my mom's family still living there - some I've met and some I haven't!
Enjoy yourself!

Welcome to our country! I live quite a way from London so can't meet up but I hope you're have a great time and brightening up our grey weather.
Don't forget to stock up on delicious British chocolate while you're here - Green & Blacks Slightly Darker Than Milk, Galaxy, Maltesers...
And don't forget to gasp at the outrageous prices we have to pay for craft supplies! Just think - we live like this all year round!

I was in London in October and went to Blade at the recommendation of some SCSers. It is a great store. It's always nice to see stamps from different companies. And, it is right next to the British Museum. Have fun.

Wow! I was in London in October too and also went to Blade Rubber. I left my mother and son at the Starbucks near the British Museum so that I could peruse the store at my leisure. Was able to buy some really cool stamps made in England. I also visited a store in York but was not near as impressed.

Tomorrow morning is the time I'm going to Blade Rubber. I'll give another report on how much my credit card is used and what I buy. Whatever I buy will be played with when I get home and posted on SCS!!!!
Hi Helen in the midlands. Sure wish you were closer... I'd love to meet up with you.
