  1. Hi Val. I think being queen would be sometimes nice but often very hard. I hope she feels she has had a good life. I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Thanks for always leaving such kind comments on my posts.

  3. Dear Val - I have just watched a programme about her 60 years, the second half is tomorrow. She and Prince Philip are really rather remarkable for their age, still travelling around the globe. Apparently a red despatch box is sent to her from Government every day and she reads all of the papers thoroughly.

  7. Hello dear Val,
    I've experienced problems with your blog as no links would work for this new site, but at last I'm here. The link from Helen's blog roll did the trick! I have missed visiting.
    How lovely to see your beautiful moss rose Royal Albert tea set in the previous post.
    Have a wonderful day!
