I couldn't let the opportunity pass without offering congratulations to Queen Elizabeth II on her Platinum Jubilee. She is the longest serving monarch we have had in the UK (seventy years) and she has been dedicated to her duty all that time.

If you are celebrating with a street party or some other party, have a lovely time. If not, enjoy the extra bank holiday and the weekend.
A truly dreadful job - which she has conducted admirably.
ReplyDeleteThanks, EC. Absolutely - she has remained dignified and stoic throughout the many ups and downs during her reign, not least her family problems!

I think HRH is absolutely the most beautiful, dedicated, poised, dignified, giving, honorable, and whatever other adjective you could use.... woman I have ever seen. Long live your Queen! I wish she ruled us here in the USA too! ~Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks, Andrea. I agree - she is a wonderful role model. Sadly, she isn't in charge of the government here (if she were, I think things might be different!)

It seems like yesterday we were celebrating the silver anniversary I cannot believe we are not celebrating seventy years! Lovely post Ellie x
ReplyDeleteThanks, sustainablemum. I remember the Silver Jubilee and being given a Jubilee coin and a certificate at school. Time does seem to speed up as we age, doesn't it?
DeleteHave a lovely weekend.
Best wishes
