I simply adore the queen! And I have borrowed, (not only one of her family photos!) but also a little of her English summer here in Australia, by cheering along with the diamond Jubilee celebrations - staying up late and marvelling at the telecasts of the various events over the last weekend...
My friend is due to away before long now and I am always heart warmed by his gentle reading voice to stories and narratives to our babes at night before bed...
Me, I have been working up a sweat and keeping to a fitness regime which is paying off in more ways than I could ever have imagined - I feel like a worrier of strength, to strength, to strength! And more like my real self, really, than ever...
On Monday - which was our official Queen's Birthday holiday - I baked scones and shared them with cream, butter, streamers and jam!
We built a bon fire in the evening and put on our winter-warmest-wool-and-wellies to enjoy the festivities on a particularly chilliy night, gathered around the fire, we toasted marshmallows and chatted and celebrated in the name of the life, the service and the gracious longevity of such a magnificent queen!

Oh Shell, so many things to love in this post; your ever-beautiful healthy self, your five little'uns, fresh made scones, your celebrating our Queen, and well - just you in general. I am equally so glad and thankful to know a wonderful, courageous, spirit-filled woman like you xx
