Summertime: England

The following video clip presents a journey through England stopping at Dover Castle, Battle Abbey, Rye, Hastings, Beachy Head, Brighton, Portsmouth, Stonehenge, Salesbury, Shaftesbury, Exeter, Dartmoor, Princetown, Devices, Avebury, Llandrillo, Hadrian's Wall, Newcastle upon Tyne, York, Cambridge and Canterbury. It is a relaxing tour thanks to the tranquil music guiding the pictures and narration.

Obviously, there is one top place to visit in England. Yes! You guessed it right, LONDON.

Congratulations to Murray for his Wimbledon title!!!

Congratulations to Andy Murray for his epic victory in Wimbledon ending a 77-year British drought in the game. He played the match of his life in front of a strong but unstable Djokovic.
Here is Andy's speech, quite a funny one as the man of the day had no idea of what happened!  That's what he recalls of his last point XD
A very humble and top tennis player. Congrats Murray. Enjoy the sweet taste of victory.
