Hi everyone! More than a week has passed since I wrote my last post… I’m really sorry about this long absence but I was really busy with some works in my house, such as installing all the lights, fixing up some furniture for the living room, for the storage space and for my office room too. Furthermore, I’ve tried to refine my blog and logo. What do you think about the new outlook? Do you like it this new version? It’s still a work in progress…but I like it more than the previous version.

After this digression let’s talk about something new. Next week I’ll be in London for three days… I’m preparing a list of all the shops and places I want to visit. This is the fourth time I’m in London, therefore I think my trip should be less touristic and more dedicated to appreciate the real spirit of the city in all its facets. At the moment in my list I put districts as Notting Hill, Covent Garden (that I love), Shoreditch and Chelsea. If some of you can suggest me some other places to visit in London, I would really appreciate! :) How to explain the post title after this digression?

Now just a hint about the Union Jack history, to know that the first flag that represented Great Britain was introduced in 1606 by King James I.
The current flag dates from the Union of Great Britain and Ireland in 1801.The "Union Jack" or "Union Flag" is a composite design made up of three different national symbols:
