Once Upon A Time

In a far away land, a long time ago....so long ago that the writer of this blog hadn't even been born....

A Princess....


....climbed up a tree in Kenya, went to sleep amongst the animals and in the morning when she awoke.....



emerged from the branches a Queen. 

60 years ago today.

Elizabeth II, Dei Gratia Britanniarum Regnorumque Suorum Ceterorum Regina, Consortionis Populorum Princeps, Fidei Defensor



“There is a thing called knowledge of the world, which people do not have until they are middle-aged. It is something which cannot be taught to younger people, because it is not logical and does not obey laws which are constant. It has no rules...."
