A few years ago I was one of millions who gathered along the Thames in the pouring rain, to catch a royal wave as she floated by on her royal barge. I hope your holiday in Britain will be dry and warm.

I've never read much about the Queen's wit...very interesting. I guess a sense of humor would really help to ease the considerable weight of the crown. Have a wonderful time in England.
