Good Morning Early Birds

[emmie]

morning, Sunday already and this week has flown by. I hope that you are all in good health and that your day is a pleasant one. Do you have anything planned for today?

I am going to take a day to rest up as my leg is hurting quite a lot, so will undoubtedly watch the news. I went to the local church and sent electronically a message of condolence on the death of Queen Elizabeth, and sat for a while and pondered on how this week has seen such seismic change, with a New Monarch and new government. Quite extraordinary times we are living in.

[LadyCG]

I am still very sad about the Queen. I keep thinking about my nan as well, who is 96 in October. She keeps falling now and had a #NOF but she's as stubborn as an ox and refuses to accept help.

Bye Minty xx

[naomi24]

I've been to London to watch the pageantry at times - on one occasion because my then boyfriend, a Grenadier guard, was taking part and I thought I might spot him under his bearskin. As if!! Haaa! Oh the folly of youth! ;o)

[emmie]

i went to the Thames to watch her Majesty and The Duke of Edinburgh pass by, this was i think the Diamond Jubilee.. seems like an age ago

[emmie]

bye Minty, have a good day...

[MargoTester]

I've lived under three monarchs too - there's still quite a few of us old codgers about :-)

[emmie]

morning Margo

[emmie]

i have only known the Queen as Monarch, and now King Charles 111

[LadyCG]

Gosh, just realised my nan has lived under five Monarchs:

King George V 1910 - 1936
King Edward VIII June 1936
King George VI 1936 - 1952
Queen Elizabeth II 1952 - 2022
King Charles III 2022 - present

Goodness knows how many PMs she's seen come and go in that time.

[emmie]

i remember the state funeral of Winston Churchill, watching on tv...i was only young, but it left a lasting impression, pretty much like the last few days.

[emmie]

time to go, bye for now, have a good day all.
