Hello, Princess Di here to challenge you for the next 5 weekends – trust me to cop a 5 week-ender!!
This week we have had Hallowe’en and next week Guy Fawkes with which to contend. I’m afraid I’m not into ‘Trick or Treat’. Fortunately we haven’t been too much troubled by the little dears banging on our front door in recent years.
As for firework displays, I have seen some impressive ones during my lifetime. I think the best was when the Queen celebrated her silver jubilee and we were invited as guests onto a boat moored on the Thames. It was a fantastic display accompanied by the appropriate music. All a long time ago and now we just open the living room curtains and watch from the warmth of our house. I suppose if the grandchildren lived a bit closer we would be a bit more pro-active, but they don’t so that’s that.
We also have to get used to the change in the hour. I get so annoyed when ‘officials’ talk about ‘gaining’ more daylight. We don’t; all we are doing is shifting the time that dawn arrives and sunset occurs. There has been talk in the past of adopting European time so we can be in sync. with our continental cousins, but recently the Spanish parliament (one part of it) has voted to adopt GMT so that the whole Iberian peninsula is on the same time. Seems sensible to me.
