Mum who loves to doodle.

I came across this today and I so love this mum. Angie Stevens has a blog called http://doodlemum.com/me/ she is a mum who lives in Wales and has recorded her children's lives by doodling a picture every day. For me I love how she has captured a British mum and her life. How she is so true to just been normal, life is not always how we expect. I truly encourage you to join her blog and check it out. She is an inspiration of how we should do something to capture our children growing up it might be in a drawing or in a story, something to leave behind for them.
Thanks Angie for inspiring me.

The Olympic rings 2012

Today Tower bridge, my most loved Bridge was changed. It too joined in with the celebrations to mark the Olympics been in London. To me I use to love driving over Tower Bridge, no doubt if I did that today I would be holding back tears. Many Brits would call me un British to be crying about such a trivial thing. But for a woman who misses England as much as I do. It touches my heart to see so many people in England joining in with the build up to the Olympics. If you live in England or are traveling there this summer. Do not take for granted this moment in time it is history in the making. My mum remembers the last Olympics she was on the beach in Dover with her mother seeing the torch been run up that beach, white cliffs in the background. So i think for me it is only fitting that the Olympic rings are held across such a bridge that this year has seen the Diamond Jubilee and now welcomes the world to be a part of history at the 2012 London Olympics.

Olympic torch brightens a fair maidens day.

Well from Kate and William practicing for the javelin team to a getting ready for the high jumps and sprints on the bouncy Stonehenge us Brits are preparing for an Olympic like no other. But today a young man had another intent as he ran with the Olympic torch in one hand he stopped and asked for his fair maidens hand in marriage. Decked in a very patriotic dress his girlfriend accepted.

It's wonderful to see how the best in us Brits comes out for such occasions from the Jubilee to the Olympics the British spirit just pours out. It make one proud to be British.
So get ready for a summer like no other and if you are in England take the time to enjoy the celebrations get involved be a part of history.

The Olympics in England brings out the Olympian in even a Princess

As we head into the Olympics. I had to chuckle when I saw this picture of Kate (Middleton) this week throwing a foam javelin in Nottingham. When I saw Stonehenge made into a bouncy arena it just cries out to me,that us Brits know how to have a good laugh and bring out the kid in us. You can see that mischievous face of Kate that brings us back to our childhood. So if you believe Brits our stuffy then think again. We have our traditions and we have are fun you tell me a country that has our wonderful Kate throwing a javelin or a bouncy arena of a famous place. So hold on tight this summer is going to be like no other. Who knows maybe they will allow Kate and William to have their own competition of foam javelin throwing at the Olympics this summer. Perhaps they practice after tea in their garden? The question is which one of them would win the gold?

Trendsetters

Vintage clothes have been setting the stage lately. Princess Eugene and Princess Beatrice wore 1950s style hats this past few days of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations. From their hats to their clothes, they were adorned by past styles seeping into today's attires. Not only the royals, but One Direction has been displaying classic styles too. From suspenders to vests and bow ties, they have been setting not only stages to perform but also the "in" clothing line of the 1950s. With new styles coming and going, do not forget to make your own style. Whether it be with bright colored clothes to add a bit of pop, like some of One Direction's clothes, to Veteran like hats to vintage handbags and gloves. Don't forget a set of pearls. You can make your own style, a classic to be remembered. Being you is the new in. Em

Diamond Divas

With the Diamond Jubilee, these past few days of celebrations have been amazing. From the more than 1,000 boats on the Thames River to a Concert for the Queen, it has been a once in a life time weekend to celebrate. Princess Eugene and Princess Beatrice wore 1950s style outfits and hats these last few days. Possibly setting the scene in honor of Queen Elizabeth II who came to the throne in 1952. They were adorned in Veteran-like hats with dresses and coats to match. Princess Eugene even wore UK flagged finger nails in honor of her grandmother's event. The true trendsetter is really Elizabeth II who carries a Launer's handbag called the Diva. God Bless the Queen. Em

4,200 beacons lit for the Queen.

4,200 beacons lit across the globe to mark the Queens sixty years of reign. It's amazing to think how much my Queen is loved. Yet to many that I spoke to today I felt a sense of ignorance. I spoke with pride about my Queen yet many could not understand why the big do in London. Well lets put it bluntly have you reigned over a country for sixty years? There's a sense of pride when switching on the telly to see the celebrations in London to see her smile. Yet how many after this is all said and done will understand fully the impact of these days. It is history in the making. It is not a movie nor a telly saga or show it's the real thing. She is a woman to be respected and we as Brit's love her. I take pride in seeing The Thames like I have never seen before, seeing her smile as her son made a speech tonight and I take pride in knowing that although I am far from home. I too am British. I suggest who ever takes the time to switch on the telly tonight you think how amazing that this Queen has served my country so well. Those beacons are lit with respect. I humbly thank God for my Queen. God Save the Queen.

Diamond Jubilee day on the Thames like no other.

The Thames river is like no other to me. I love Tower Bridge I love being down by the Thames to me this says I am home. My mum has lived through many events but I beat today marked one that will go down in her life, mine and her grandchildren's lives. None of us will ever live to see a Monarch on our throne for sixty years. It marks a time that has seen my mum from a young girl to a mother and then to a grandmother. Today we saw a flotilla of boats of all sorts go down the Thames to celebrate my Queen been on the throne for sixty years. There she was on her amazing boat if you call it that, it was a boat made of splendor with ten and thousands of flowers decking the sides. It might of rained but that did not put a dampener on the days celebrations and how us Brits regardless will make a party out of dreary day.
If you like me, have gone down the Thames on a boat you will understand how magical this is. But today it marked history.
This is my Queen who has served my country well.
God bless you Queen Elizabeth.
