Thank you Becky. While I am not a Royalist, I do feel it's been the end of a
very long era. Our new King has some very large shoes to fill.
Big hugs back.

Erica, I am writing all my British friends. I am so sorry to hear of the
death of the Queen. You grieve with much of the world. There is quite a cast
of characters coming to her funeral. I hope all mind their manners.

Warm hugs,

Becky in her Joy Wheels
