Being the Yank that I am, I don’t know a great deal about Queen Elizabeth. But I will say that given all the history and changes that she lived through, I do admire and respect her.
It couldn’t have been easy living her life in a fishbowl like that. I’m sure she had some missteps along the way, but overall, I thought she handled herself with grace and dignity.
The end of an era … she lived through a lot of transformations of the UK and the world.
I thought a couple of days ago when I read she cancelled another engagement, she might be on the way out
Such a loss for Germany
Charlie’s time to shine as king,

In NSW between Easter/Anzac day in April, and Labor day in October,
we only get one long weekend, the Queens Birthday, in early June

So who knows??
So good
