Indeed!!...yes I saw Princess Ann on the Trinity boat....and got a glimpse of them all at the concert. I suppose the lack of family on the balcony was not to detract from the Queen and with Prince Philip absent...they trotted out the heirs and spares ;D

I would have done, but I was busy... It's taken almost an hour to get this %$*£ laptop to connect to the net this morning!

And our Steve, the cake looks so fine....is there any left ;D

I watched Gary Barlow about the making of "Sing" on IPlayer. I loved it and it brought tears to my eyes. I think Lou would like this because of the choir.

My daughter and granddaughter in Australia are in a prizewinning choir and my eldest son's partner is in a choir too. The Scottish choir will be singing at The Royal Albert Hall in November along with lots of choirs.

Sue I do agree with you. I did not have enough friends and no rellies around at Jubilee time, but we are making up for it soon. I prefer friends and family any time. This is how children's memories are built too. They never forget these times when all are enjoying themselves.

We had a letter yesterday saying that Woking in Bloom has been cancelled this year due to the hosepipe ban

Earlier in the year they were encouraging everyone to go for a red,white and blue theme so I expect there are a few disappointed people :(I think they could have made this decision a bit earlier
