I totally agree, and I was glad I visited Sandringham before she passed away. The cows did make me laugh, I couldn’t believe it!!!! 🙂

I was so sad to hear about the passing of Queen Elizabeth II – the queen was, for many in England and beyond, a stabilizing presence, and it feels like an ending of an era, especially as Charles doesn’t carry the same cachet as Elizabeth. I can’t believe you had to take a detour because of the cows, at least you walked away with a funny story to tell! Thanks for sharing and have a good say 🙂 Aiva

So glad you enjoyed reading Mike, I really appreciate you taking the time to do so. The church was wonderful actually, a bonus to get to go inside for sure. Hehe yes, unfortunately I’ve probably visited far more of them than I should have…..

That was really lovely, Han. Your accounts are amusing, informative and observational, but the bits of sheer personality really sparkle; wonderful! As for Liz, she was certainly a special lady. Our system may not be perfect, but I’m so glad we don’t have an elected Head of State; God save us! By the way, very jealous you got into the church. We visited during COVID times and much was restricted. Love the look of the Dabbling Duck too – there are some great pubs in East Anglia.

I’ve actually got my British citizenship as well as my Canadian one as my mom was born in England. It holds a special place in my heart! xo

She really was and it’s so nice that so many people think that – regardless of thoughts on the monarchy, she did an amazing job. Haha I knowwww, it was just so English to be late because the cows wouldn’t move in the heat haha! Thanks for reading 🙂

I totally agree her funeral was so fitting and a wonderful tribute. We are still all sad here, but it’s so lovely that people in other countries have been so lovely as well – thank you for your thoughts from Canada 🙂
