365 Days in Great Britain Calendar 2009 (Picture-A-Day Wall Calendars)
Take a holiday in Britain. The elegant architecture of Bath, the Union Jack, the sweeping views from the Isle of Man. The camaraderie of a pint at the corner pub. Museum-hopping in Glasgow. Cycling down the cobbled streets of Oxford. Bright red telephone boxes, convivial games of cricket, country cottages, a basket of fresh-baked scones, and rowing down the River Wear.Featuring lively text by Philip Hoffhines and full-color photographs by Peter Matthews, 365 Days in Great Britain captures the heart of England, Scotland, and Wales—the modern and the ancient, the singular charms and quirky spirit—from the cosmopolitan whirl of London to the lush gardens of Kent to the forests of Dyfed, birthplace of the Tudor dynasty. For Anglophiles, it's a year filled with delights.

Great present for yourself or a traveling friend
My boyfriend and I went to the UK this past June-July, and last year this calendar was one of his Christmas presents. It was so fun to look forward to the trip when we checked the calendar each day, and fun to reminisce about the places we'd seen when we returned.
I highly recommend the calendars in this series as gifts for those who are planning trips to the region.
My trip to the Isles
One of my great regrets is that I've never made it to Britain -- yet. But, I buy the 365 Days calendar each year and take a different trip there every month. This is a marvelous calendar, chock-a-block with beautiful photos. Buy it and enjoy.
