It's
not just England celebrating along with her either. Street parties
have been going on all weekend in Clackmannanshire. Schools are off
and workers in the public sector have another holiday. Not me. :(
To
celebrate the Queen's 60th year on the throne, on
Sunday thousands took part in a Jubilee lunch (one street around the
corner from me even hired a bouncy castle, paddling pool and at night
had a fireworks display) and the Thames hosted a river pageant.
Monday brought a concert at Buckingham Palace (all the good stuff
happens in London) and tonight thousands of Jubilee beacons will be
lit.
The
weekend would have been the perfect time to visit London, with all
the celebrating. Still, I'm sure the good stuff will be caught on
telly and I'll get a chance to watch. From what I've seen so far, I'm
glad the outfits people are wearing to the events have improved since
the Royal Wedding. Not a huge, insect shaped hat in sight. :o)
In
keeping with the theme in the UK, I've treated myself to Princess
from the Shadows, by Maisey Yates. If anyone knows any good romances
focused around royalty, lemme know. I'm having a royal binge.
Happy
Jubilee everyone!
