Commencing today and continuing through this
coming weekend, the Platinum Jubilee Celebration
of the amazing 70 years Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
has ruled will hold the UK in its grip. Pageantry, street
parties, concerts, bunting blowing in what I hope
will be a gentle breeze, and brilliant sunshine.
No other British monarch has sat upon the
throne this long. Queen Victoria made 63
years, no king has ruled anywhere near
that long.
Long live spirited, spunky British women!
Once a lovely princess . . . . . . . .

.......then suddenly a Queen!
We won't be there for the huge celebration having
planned this trip prior to knowing it was even
going to happen. We had to cancel so many times
during the pandemic lockdown we lost count of
what was occurring and when!
Anyway, crowds are not my favorite thing
anymore so perhaps it's better we will
be arriving when it's all over!
Hoping to see some of the celebration
on television over the weekend.
Will you be watching?
God Save Our Queen.
