About Queen & Crumpet

Hello! My name is Dana, the founder and writer of Queen & Crumpet. I started this blog because I really, truly love the United Kingdom. I mean, really, really love it. If I could claim dual citizenship, I would. I suffer from Nationality Identity Crisis. My books on the Royal Family alone are staggering - and if it has the Union Jack on it, I probably own it. I've always thought it was all a bit crazy, but I've learned to embrace it. This love dates back a looooong time, with my first visit to see my family there, and has continued to grow ever since. Each and every time I visit, I reminded again why I love it, and grow to love something new. I truly feel at home there, as if I've been there all along. I love everything about it, and I wanted a place where I could share this crazy love with others. Fashion, literature, the Duchess of Cambridge, food, history - it's all here - finally a place where I can share it all with all of you lovely people. 


A little about me:

Things I Love: A cup of PG Tips with sugar and milk, the red of a postal mailbox in England, stomping through puddles in my wellies, shopping for new baubles, spending a rainy day catching up on Coronation Street, getting lost in an old, stately home, watching the English countryside roll by from the first class cabin on a Virgin Train, hearing that lovely british accent, spending time with my family both at home and abroad, anything Jcrew, a sunday roast, the clean, freshness of a sunny spring day, a good fish and chips, the check of the original Burberry pattern, rummaging for antiques, chocolate croissants, the red sole of a pair of Louboutins, a beautiful English garden, popping outside for a barbecue, Liberty London patterns, a lovely hat placed at the perfect angle, fortnum & mason hampers, anything with a royal warrant (particularly my Range Rover and Cadbury chocolate), The Duchess of Cambridge, The Duke of Cambridge for that matter, Wedgewood China
