Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Morning all, absolutely lovely morning here cloudless skies. Should be good for the jubilee celebrations. At the risk of being at bit controversial have to admit they don’t interest me that much as I’m not a monarchist. This may go back to the day my Nan took me and my cousin to see the Queen Mother at the railway station, must have been about five. Stood there with obligatory paper flag for what seemed like hours and was deeply disappointed when, rather than the gold coach and crowned Queen I was expecting, a black car swept past with not even a wave from the occupants. :confused: My Dad, Mum and brother have all shaken hands with the Queen, so I do have connections doncha know.lol. Anyway whatever you may or may not be celebrating I hope you all have a lovely day.?
I'm certainly not celebrating privilege G, anyone who expects another to bow or curtsey can kiss my junter lol Never used to be bothered but as I age and see the unbalance and social injustice in the world, some people still don't have access to fresh water, I simply don't agree with Royalty and such but each to their own.

Some pics from this mornings walk up the farm, the animals weren't interested in Daisy today but she had a paddle and a little play so she's happy. Just a bit miffed as normally we'd do a few more miles but I'm too sore it's crap.
She's deffo a flirt T.

Hope you're feeling better soon mate.
 
Now you know what to bring me when you come to visit your son?

Why are all the labels in English when they are local brands on sale in Finland?
Finland has two main languages but also does many things in English ,lots of companies haveEnglish as their working language ,Nokia for example any almost any that trdes abroad .
I will indeed bring some over for you .

Where oh where would you be without Daisy ,yet again beautiful photos especially the ones with Madam in .
 
Blue. These are the latest gins I picked up on the ferry back from Guernsey. I have no room in the gin cabinet yet so will need to finish off one of the nearly empty bottles. I was surprised to discover that you can now bring back 4 litres of spirits duty free into the UK. Finally a benefit of Brexit?

I have never realised that there was a restriction :confused:
 
I'd have curled up into a dark corner never to be seen without her, keeps me on my toes the wee bugger. She loves rolling around on her back and everyone driving past looking and laughing lol
She is a gift and I understand that . Long may your wonderful times together last .She is right though -she is a looker.
 
I was watching a youtube video the other day about Manchester and right at the end the fella was at Three Little Words, which is a gin distillery and the manager came out and spent a few minutes explaining how they make the gin and the different flavours. I don't drink but still find it interesting.

I wouldn't say I'm a big supporter of the Royal family but I'm more in favour than against. I can see both arguments. I do feel the Royal purse needs reducing in size though. Too many hangers on.

I do like the Queen and Charles is well thought of down here. He's a big environmentalist and has been well before it became popular. I quite like Will and Kate too. And works incredibly hard and doesn't take the piss out of her privileged situation unlike most of the extended family. The rest I can't be arsed with.

Cal was a big Royalist though. She was heavily influenced by her parents in that regard and would have been in her element with all this. She'd have had bunting out and definitely would have organised some sort of party and invited all the neighbours. I miss that terribly if I'm honest.
