Thinking of our British friends

I’m thinking of Joan and Mr Joan, who haven’t been here in a while. And John in Spain too. As I learn of Queen Elizabeth and how the family is all rushing to Scotland to be by her side.

The Queen has been quite a force in their lives, I’m sure. I lived in England for three years as a young child (dad was US military), and have a fondness for that country due to our stay and one of my brothers being born there.

I sure wish that country all the best, as well as our Airhosts Forum members from the British Isles.

Speaking of John from Spain, I was just thinking about him yesterday. Really miss his posts, & humor! Hope all’s well with him.

yes it was shocking news to wake up to here in Australia. And the tributes i’ve watched today have been so wonderful, to remind us all of a person who devoted her life to duty. just 3 days ago she was still working, having her first meeting with the newly sworn-in PM. before the “what next” chatter begins it’s been wonderful to enjoy watching the highlights of her life, and how truly remarkable she was.

God save the King. that’s a weird phrase! we used to sing “god save the queen” at primary school in the '70s. some time in the '80s that switched to our own national anthem. I hope she has prepared Charles well for his duties.

Mrs Joan like me is of Irish heritage and John is Scottish @murphysranch :slight_smile:

I was brought up in the UK and can’t say she was a force in my life. Very sad of course when anyone dies who has had such a memorable life.

Thanks for thinking of us.
