Royal Visit


I've been to Windsor to see the Queen

Unfortunately she wasn't there, I'm a bit dissapointed really. I would have hoped that Aunty Betty would have been there to greet one of her war veterans. Ah well maybe she was busy making frozen yorkshire puddings.

I must say though she did have an amazing gaff. My personal favourite was the waterloo chamber a whole big room dedicated to the kicking of the frenchies arses at some battle, I forget which one :) . It was mucho impressive with pictures of the generals and various other cling-ons making guest star appearances. There was a picture of the pope in there for god's sake, I don't remember him firing many cannons or swinging on ropes during the battle.

There also a similar project starting soon. I beleive that they are opening a toilet in the west wing dedicated to the liberation of Iraq, could just be a rumour

The place has certainly been spruced up well since that little fire (insurance job) a few years ago, well done ma'am.

We also went to legoland, that was great fun, but it was chocker. Someone in Denmark is making a shit load of cash from that little doozy. The rides where excellent but they pull your pants down over the prices of all the food drink and toys. Still the kid's had a ball so it was worth it.

It was a long drive home though after a full day, hooray for coffee and tom-tom.

Hope your kids had loads of fun and you were not dragging them around all the rides again and again. Did you manage to find any ilego for your Macbook? Can't believe that the Queen had not put out the red carpet with tea and medals for an old war dog like yourself!!!!

Great blog, remember you have to keep it up everyday now though!
