Gawd Bless Ya Maarrrrmmm.

Will I never learn....

Even the most ardent Republican must the raising a quiet but heartfelt hooray for Her Madge this week - a four day weekend can take the edge off  the need for palace burning and La Marseilles. 


So Blighty prepares to don the bunting, hang out the flags, bake patriotic cakes and get drunk for two extra days - really anyone who doesn't think "ooh, no need for an early night on Sunday OR Monday!" is lying to themselves.


Thankfully, our little Canterbury backwater hasn't succumbed to Jubilee Street Party fever, I expect we shall all be stoically ignoring each other like normal, save for a strained smile and semi-wave/ salute if there are any accidental meetings in the street. Typically British one might say -  peace and quiet will reign supreme - much like the Queen.


So here's to Cabbage, her strange family, odd habits, weird clothes and backbone. See - she's just like us!

In the meantime, please refer to the lovely inkyfool, for the BEST word for what some folk may use the lie-in at the weekend for - anyone for Noddypoop!
