Our Grand Tour

Dear England Project patrons,

We write to inform you that tomorrow we embark upon our Grand Tour. We look forward to the trip with great excitement and considerable joy and hope that when we return we will bring with us many great cultural treasures and relics.

I have already contacted the British Museum who say they would be delighted to pass a critical eye over any artefacts that we bring back and have assured us that there will always be a place at the museum for any items of substantial quality or interest.

Our journey will be long, taking a full 9 months on one of Her Majesties fast clippers, the Catty Bark. We will be stopping off at a number of ports before reaching our ultimate destination, the port city of Ostia Antica, where we have been assured of a place at a rather special hostelry for the duration of our stay.

Both myself and my good lady are especially looking forward to some trophy hunting whereas the young lad is intent upon some archaeology.

Naturally we will be unable to contact you once we leave these fair isles and trust that you will forgive us our leave.

Thank you for your patronage.
