In my life 10th anniversary year - episode 23 - Sign Of the Times- (Final episode, thank goodness)

But it turned into a huge big blog slog! 

Some posts I just binned, such as arts & crafts, concerts and cars.

Trafalgar Square London 2011 

 

My favourite moment from the 2012 Olympics was when

Her Majesty the Queen with 007 James Bond (Daniel Craig) 

who was her escort to the opening ceremony.

Very funny, very clever, Makes me laugh and cry!  

 

And when all the crowd GASP when she turns around 

and they realise that IT IS THE QUEEN. 

 

You may notice that I've remembered nothing about sport at the 2012 Olympics! 

Except, what a good sport the Queen was.

 

Love the Corgis! 

Daniel is also nice to look at........

Above :- Leipzig Germany Christmas Markets 2017

If you want to go to one German Christmas market this is the one I'd recommend.

It was so beautiful - wonderful- amazing,  and it  took over the whole town. 

Plus the bonus was being in Leipzig you learnt all about Bach .

I bought the most beautiful table runners for our mothers at the markets.

Vi's I found still in the plastic wrap when we cleaned out her house. 

and is currently gracing my sideboard,

They came on and off to look like the Angels were flying! 

I remember going around with my mouth open in awe.  

It was so beautiful.. I think that's the Strand.
