Shere magic....

After all of the hurrah of London in the grip of the recent royal wedding, one must simply recharge the batteries and take some time out and visit the glorious English country side with some cherished friends.  What better place than the hills, lanes and villages of Surrey?  I tell you what, on a good day, Old Blighty really turns it on...and you can't get much more endearing than Shere and surrounding hills . I am totally enchanted by this charming locale.  Apparently though, Hollywood has also fallen for the wiles of Shere with moving pictures being filmed here....ergo, The Holiday with Kate Winslet and Jude Law. Haven't seen it but at least have...well...seen it!  The perfect place for a late picnic and a jug of Pimms cocktail, of course, to share.  Much maligned, a Pimms cocktail is ideal for the onset of the warmer weather and a day in the country and a good starter to any evening with those close and dear.
