Welcome to my Bog!

My name is Lauren, and I am a junior at Gettysburg College. I am currently on a European journey in England, which I know will turn out to be one of the greatest adventures of my life! I'm excited to share my experiences with you, so you can get a sense of what I'm going through in England.
Oh and the name of my blog is inspired by my Bostonian roots, which has caused me to use the word wicked in excess.

Montacute:

The second part of our field trip was to Montacute estate and it was very fun! I'll admit I didn't like it as much as Stourhead, because the garden was too artificial and maintained. But it was still beautiful! Also, it was exciting to try my first cream tea. For those of you who don't know what cream tea is, I still don't really either. I guess you can go to a shop and ask for cream tea and it's something like this: 2 scones, strawberry jam, clotted cream, and a pot of tea. Now I'm still confused why they call it cream tea if it's really just scones and tea but I think it's because of clotted cream which is a heavy combination of butter, cream cheese, and whipped cream. It's seriously delicious and seriously deadly. Haha I don't know how people here don't have high cholesterol. So here are some beautiful pictures of the estate and surrounding gardens!
This is a great example of how amazing these gardens are.
My first cream tea! So yummy.
