World Tour UK in April

Does anybody have an idea, what we might expect in April from the UK World Tour? I would love to see some ravens , or the horse of Uffington, probably there will be something to do with the wedding ?

Waiting for the pictures............

My hopes are on a Earl Grey Dillo for the glass bead

And a nice detailed rose bead (silver, which represents the beautiful tea roses) would be great too.

But thinking about the World Tour in Germany and the Brandburger Tor, I won't be surprised if the Big Ben would show up at the World tour for the UK.

yeah, Big Ben seems very probable, though I really hope for something more creative

I think building are a little bit boring, I hope for maybe something connected to the Arthurian legend, something shakespeare related and maybe Stonehenge.

I would love to see some celtic designs -- perhaps a celtic dragon, which would also fit the arthurian legends

I think they will go for a red telephone box.

I would love to see a Heather glass, Loch Ness monster, Bagpipes, Piper in kilt, Can't wait.

I will be very dissapointed if it ends up stereotypical Brit stuff ( i.e. SE England centric) and doesn't represent each of the four countries in some way. I am very much hoping for a thistle!

I really think they will choose union jack colours for the glass bead I really would love a heather coloured bead with little heather flowers on (especially as there is heather throughout the UK).

For the silver I am very scared... South Africas beads were amazing, so Troll, and I'm terrified we end up with Big Ben, a teapot and bagpipes...

I would love something more obscure, like a stonehenge bead with the stone slabs going around the bracelet, and a celtic patterned bead would be great. I also think a small dragon would be good too, but as there are 2 dragon beads already I doubt they will do that.

One thing is for sure, I can't wait to find out!! And I'm not sneaking a look at any pre-release bead pics either - I want a surprise when I go to my LD!

I just LOVE the idea of heather and a celtic dragon - my fingers already hurt from keeping them crossed and they still have a few weeks to keep it up! Also the sword of avalon still stuck in stone would be great !

Personally I'm hoping for beads that's not me....Beads that I don't like and that I don't want to buy....A girl can wish...

i love all of your ideas! (except for trolls, I would really like to like them this time )

Thistle would be fantastic, I forgot that one.

The tower of London would be cool, but castle was similar!! I would LOVE a thistle!!!

I will be really cross if they stoop to making a fast buck by producing a royal wedding souvenir bead.

yeah, me too - still keeping my fingers crossed for something arthurian - or those ravens from the tower of london - I just love ravens

I really do hope that some of your wishes come true - so much more imaginative than plain sights!

A thistle bead would top my list

In terms of representing the UK and not just any individual country, I would love to see a bead with four faces, each made up of the countries national flower, or an emblem similar to that worn by the British Lions rugby team

But what if it was like that old retired crown one. I can't remember what it's called... On D4ever it's called the royal wedding bead. I don't know if they ever made it in silver, but I wouldn't complain about that one for sure!

I can't wait to see what the UK World Tour brings us. I'll patiently wait until April and in the mean time I still need to get a couple of the Netherlands and South African beads.

Other countries have had and still do have royalty. There is no reason why we should be represented by a crown instead of something more interesting. If it is a red, white and blue glass bead, a crown, a London bus and Big Ben I will be disgusted. I won't even bother to look at them. I hope that Troll won't be so lazy.

Love the line "my fingers already hurt from keeping them crossed...." and I agree-- a celtic dragon would be great. Love the dragons. I'll keep my fingers crossed too!

Are you filling in for Grumpy while she's gone???

I wouldn't mind a wedding bead myself. As long as they also make a divorce one down the road if it happens! Just kidding!!!

I think the UK beads will be stunning. Just look at the great job they did with the South Africa beads.

You can call me Grumpier if you like or even Grumpiest?
