A song for the 9th June.

Oh this has made me homesick again! I'm a proud Geordie but now live in Surrey of all places! Blaydon races always sets me off!

I never use the big computer! It's upstairs. I use my tablet or my phone for Gransnetting purposes. ??

Even more now!
On my mobile the picture is there and it works!

Hilda I'm .
Your link in your OP isn't blue, nothing happens if you click on it, and there isn't a picture. I'm on the desktop, not sure if it's different on a tablet?

Blaydon Races was one of the songs we were taught in our music lesson at junior school. I don't think I've heard it since until today, but I often catch myself singing or humming snippets of it.

I love the Trooping of the Colour - I will watch the highlights later this evening. When DH worked in the Military Secretary’s office, he was given tickets for it one year and I didn’t go as DD was very young then and it would have been too long a day for her, so he took DS, then 10, and his friend and they had a wonderful day, and talked about it for weeks afterwards.
Well, as my lovely Geordie friend used to say, “well, this won’t get the bairn a new coat!” I’m away to put the roast pork in the oven!

Do you have subtitles for your post JaneA?
Am joking of course, as Ah ken fine.
Yes, we do pomp and ceremony well here, but if the Queen has an official birthday and a real birthday, I want that too,
Just think two lots of cards, flowers , cake and presents!

My link does work Jane, I tested it when I posted. You just click on the picture. But thanks anyway.

Hope your link works this time Hilda
We're gannin to a Geordie Neet the neet and I'm sure we'll be dancing to that tune
Thanks for posting it.

I am also watching Trooping of the Colour. I do feel that the British do pomp and ceremony so well.

Makes my heart swell with pride. We have an AC who is a serving officer in the Army. I wish our armed forces always got the respect and thanks they deserve.
