Hilary Margaret White at Orwell's Picnic. She's certainly not mealey mouthed and I don't think she'd like me but the hard nosed, old fashioned English way she puts things is interesting. I'm either horrified or amused when I visit her blog.
Elena at Tea at Triannon. What lovely, gentle blog. She reminds me of a Northern Melanie Wilkes.
The Anchoress. She gets on my nerves at times but Mrs. Scalia can really write and it's worth it to read her every day.
Cheeky Pink Girl. Honest, tough, never boring.
