I like the bunting

jeni will be the belle of the ball.

If by belle you mean some thing that sarts off narrow, swells out, then a a(very)slight waist then BALLOONS out ?
YES THAT'S ME!

jeni I have just spluttered wine all over my key board.

[stern face]
My late husband would not allow fluids by a computer!
I've my vodka next to me!

Actually I've a mute string of cheap freshwater pearls and crystals as well as my 'propper pearls'
I AM ON THE QM2 and didn't HER MAJESTY QUEEN MARY wear multiethnic strings of pearls?

Multiple not mute
Goodnight!

I am looking forward to seeing photos of all your street parties and, of course, one of jeni in her pearls , with the captain.
I was living in Monaco with my daughters when Diana and Charles got married, and I hired a TV set for the day. We got together with some other young English people and had a riotous night out, singing patriotic songs.
The French were all glued to their screens anyway - for a republic, France has a remarkable interest in our royal family!

Jeni if you are going au naturel I have a very fetching pair of pink rubber gloves with a fur trim that would go very nicely with your pearls,just add a swish of Chanel no 5 and you are good to go and hot to trot

Glass I think you might be a national treasure.

Don't wear no 5! It self funny on me! Quite like coco though, although I usually wear Joy or essential rose!

Let me make this plain.

I AM NOT GOING IN THE NUDE

IT WOULD NOT BE FAIR TO OTHER PASSENGERS!

How could they compare with my fat beautiful body?

Smells funny!

Lovely to read that everyone is in favour of bunting. I am at my caravan for a couple of weeks, and have brought 2 flags with me to stick in my flower pot at the front, but no one else seems to have done this - with the exception of the Showground where they want to draw attention to the caravans for sale! But now I shall be emboldened, and maybe encourage others to do the same. I also have a plastic shopping bag with lovely pic of the Queen and will put in the car window facing outward. Happy weekend girls.

Meant to say how clever of Gransnet to add bunting to the logo.
Memory not what it was! Thats why I am signing up for the Pearson Memory Course so next time I write a message I will write all of it in one go!

I have just noticed the bunting too (very tasteful) and thank you tech for and

Just got back from town day which takes place annually on the late Spring Bank Hols! Tomorrow there is a Big Lunch picnic by the bandstand and on Monday there is a royal visit and sports for all in the town centre.

Was at work today, however I did see some of the pageant on TV, isn't the Queen a wonderful woman stood for over four hours and in the rain and cold, makes me feel proud to be English.

The whole afternoon was put on hold to watch the pageant so dinner was delayed until 6.30 even though mr.G. insisted he was sooooo hungry he had to wait,Her Majesty was amazing and she certainly showed the rest of the World how it is done.
To-day I am doing the baking for the tea-party to-morrow so will have to get myself off this PC for a while,easier said than done though.

Our very tiny village is resplendent with bunting (despite very high winds and possible dangers to our slightly older men, on ladders!), We had a crown-making morning for the children on Saturday which was well attended and great fun, and tomorrow a lunch in the village hall with, weather permitting, treasure hunts and games for the children in the farmer's field next door. So I'm off to make the pastry for the sausage rolls! We have really loved all the fuss and palaver, remember having a wonderful 25th Jubilee celebration when all the children were small and everyone but everyone came to our street party. As far as I am concerned, love it all!

Today I did my bit for the Queen, when an anti-monarchist said that the Royal family should be lined up and shot. If I remember my history correctly once you could be done for treason for saying that. They said the Royal family are a waste of money. I laid into them by saying I and many others are honoured to serve her and her family.

ian42 I do not wish them dead but the royals are not special to me. I do not serve the queen as I have not been in her employ nor been in the military.

I neither serve the queen, nor do I see the monarchy as value for money. Don't see the need for shooting them, but they could all get useful jobs and stop living off the state.

I'm not sure I even know what serving the queen means. I don't (serve) at any rate.

Nor me! I gave up tennis at 16 when I developed a recurrently dislocating R shoulder!

Bags, what do you teach those cubs?

Doesn't the Promise include, 'To do my duty to God and the Queen'.

How do you manage?
