What an interesting weekend it has been, all red, white and blue and perfect Bank Holiday weather!
I must admit that I am in 2 minds about the Royal Family. I seem to recall that my mum (who was the biggest influence on my values and beliefs), was a bit of a royalist and would get us to sit through all the programmes on tele. But she started to loose faith with the last generation as she was neither a Fergie nor a Diana lover. Having no mum to natter to for the last 15 years, I felt for Harry and Will when Diana went and have watched them grow up proud and strong. They really do appear to be just normal lads about town, if you can say being heirs to the thrown is at all normal!
I suppose, my thoughts recently have been more about obligation and lack of choice. OK they may have a huge amount of money and I can't even stretch to a new pair of trainers for my running, but I have choice. I get up in the morning and if I don't want to do my hair then so what? If I don't want to go somewhere or do something then a quick phone call and I am excused. But what if you really don't fancy standing in the rain by the side of the Thames getting soaked cause Nan has invited you to her party?!
OK, the money without the obligation may be a different thing but for that I will have to go back to buying lottery tickets!
