I’ve made my very first patchwork quilt! It’s I’ve made my very first patchwork quilt! It’s actually 12th scale and for the maid’s room in one of my doll’s houses. I bought the kit from @ltwminiatures and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to do. Thank you LTW Miniatures! #12thscaleminiature #dollshouses #miniaturesewing #dollhouse #patchwork #ltwminiatures
It’s beginning to look a lot like … 😱 I wen It’s beginning to look a lot like … 😱 I went to the garden centre this morning to buy some onion sets and was shocked to see the shelves chock full with Christmas items. Apparently it had been put on display some weeks ago, but at least there wasn’t any music playing! #christmasiscoming #toosoon #september
Today we wave a last farewell to our Queen. It wil Today we wave a last farewell to our Queen. It will be a day of sadness but also a day to pay tribute and celebrate the life of an extraordinary woman. #queenelizabeth #hermajestythequeen
Yesterday I took a friend up to Sandringham so she Yesterday I took a friend up to Sandringham so she could make her own personal tribute to the Queen and we were astonished to see so many flowers laid at the Norwich Gates on the estate. It was a beautifully sunny autumnal day and there hundreds of people paying their respects in a very quiet and reverent manner showing once again the high esteem in which the Queen was held. #thequeen #queenelizabeth #sandringham #norfolk #floraltribute
Yesterday was a day I shall never forget as I went Yesterday was a day I shall never forget as I went down to London for the Queen’s Lying-in-State. I joined the queue at London Bridge at 9.30am and within minutes had made Queue Buddies. My fab editor @kate7mills came and found me for a quick chat near the start, which was wonderful. Amazingly the hours fairly whizzed by and along the way there were much needed loo stops and the chance to grab a tea or coffee. The camaraderie in the queue was very uplifting, just as it’s been reported in the media. It took six and a half hours to reach Westminster Hall and the slowest part was the zigzag area just before the final destination - that took over three hours. The time spent in the Hall in front of Her Majesty’s coffin was brief but very moving and will stay with me forever. The penultimate photo shows me with my Queue Buddies. #queenelizabeth #lyinginstate #westminster #westminsterhall #london #thequeue
These are photos taken this afternoon while watchi These are photos taken this afternoon while watching King Charles III and other members of the Royal Family accompanying the cortège on foot from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall where Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin will lie in state until Monday morning. The ceremony was both emotionally sombre and a huge spectacle wrapped in layers of historic pageantry. A very British spectacle in all ways. #queenelizabeth #hermajesty #buckinghampalace #themall #westminsterhall #lyinginstate
And so we’re facing the end of an era now and a And so we’re facing the end of an era now and a monumental moment in history for the United Kingdom. Queen Elizabeth’s steadfast leadership all these many years is an example of supreme devotion to service to us all. Rest in peace HRH Queen Elizabeth.
