This is our final goodbye, and I for one will really miss you.
You may be gone, but you'll never be forgotten. The end of an amazing era.

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!

About Me
- Cro Magnon
- I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching). Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Farewell sweet Majesty and thank you.
ReplyDeleteFarewell x
ReplyDeleteFarewell, thank you and we were so lucky to have had you watch over us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful Queen and person she was. I will miss her.
ReplyDeleteStill two hours to go. Watching the preparations and commentary from BBC
ReplyDeleteThe longest reign of any British Monarch & the longest recorded of any female head of state in history..... she was an amazing woman and Queen , she was always there and I shall miss her. We will do her proud today. XXXX
ReplyDeleteShe made the world a better place and has my utter respect. I was listening to a podcast today which described how governments of the big four overseas western queendoms would approach the palace with requests for changes to her status or alteration of words that stated her role in her Commonwealth Countries and she never said no but would make her feelings known and would negotiate. She always kept such matters very quiet so no leader would end up looking rejected. Real skill.
ReplyDeleteI note her hair went grey in the 1980s and white by 2012.
DeleteI wish I could stay home and watch the funeral today. RIP to your lovely Queen.
ReplyDeleteAnother page turns in the book of our British history. A history envied around the world. Watching it all now on ITV....not the BBC.
ReplyDeleteA truly wonderful departure for the Queen and everything went perfectly.
ReplyDeleteA truly remarkable woman in every sense of the word. She will be missed.
ReplyDeleteI have been touched by the stories from the people who knew her best.
ReplyDeleteI shall miss her immensely, for her grace, elegance, kindness, courage, diplomacy, and most of all her service to us!
ReplyDeleteRest gently Elizabeth, with Philip at your side.
Cro, it is the end of an amazing era...
ReplyDeleteThe past week has been handled so well by everyone.
ReplyDeleteGone forever is the twinkle in her eyes. I hope at least one of the grandchildren or great grandchildren inherit that from her along with her good nature.
