After weeks of dodging the hype, I made the mistake of turning on the TV this morning. I fear I am in danger of becoming sentimental in my middle age! But, best wishes to the Kate and William.

Pomp and Circumstance
After weeks of dodging the hype, I made the mistake of turning on the TV this morning. I fear I am in danger of becoming sentimental in my middle age! But, best wishes to the Kate and William.
'Nuff said.
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.

Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.

ReplyDeletePersonally I feel there should be at least one "Royalty? Bah!" from an ex-colonial. OK, from an anarchist.
ReplyDeleteBut I sincerely wish well any couple with enough gumption to brave matrimony. When they come by for a visit, the first round's on me. Cheers!

Hmmm well, I'll confess that I have my doubts on the appropriateness of watery tarts distributing swords as a system for choosing governments though I did once swear allegiance to the happy groom's father's mother.
ReplyDeleteStill nothing like young love eh? esp when backed up by bearskins and cuirassiers.
