P.s never give up. :): June 2012

Hellooooooo,

Sorry again for such long space between updates but with medical appointments and getting things sorted round my house, not feeling too well and having my birthday it's been a bit crazy! ;) But no fear... Becca is here for another boring blog post for you all. ;) So the the Queen's diamond jubilee has been! 60 years on the throne, jeeze you'd think she'd be getting bored by now. ;) Haha.

But seriously royalist or none royalist? For me i often wonder what is the role of the royal family, what do they decide? Who is it that actually has all the power over Britain? Is she simply a public figure in a big mansion who wears knitted cardigans and has company of corgi dogs? ;) I now know that the parliament and the Priminister makes the suggestions, make their decisions, our input included in some of the time and then the overall decision goes to the queen. She has to tick and sign of the sheet most to speak. So yes she's making the ultimate decision but usually decides to go with the majority choice.

It makes you think what would the world be like without a queen? Without a focal point we all (or most of us) look up to with the up most respect and honour. It's always nice to have someone to look up too for guidance. In reality, our fate, our destiny is in the hands of her. What makes you a queen? Blood, money, power? Who's to say me or my next door neighbour have any more idea on what are the right decisions and paths to take than she does? She must feel an awful lot of responsibility, one day she woke up thinking it was any other day and then all of a sudden had the whole weight of the world on her shoulders! No wonder she has maids, cooks, cleaners and butlers! ;) The poor woman must be swamped! haha.

For me personally i am for the Queen on the account of what i know. The jury is out for me on the rest of the royal family though haha. I never follow all the moves of the royal family implicitly but seen as they're probably the most famous family in the world you get to know of any major changes. But it just makes you think, she was once a little girl, a girl that most likely used to worry what clothes she was going to wear or if her favourite tv programme had been cancelled today. On what day did she suddenly stop being that little girl and start having to accept or decline decisions that could literally change our lives. She's human like any of us and we all know the royal family have there fair share of arguments! Do they affect her decisions, the choices she makes for us? When she's having a bad day, how does that affect her in her appointments as Queen? Does she trump and bump like the rest of us or does she step out of the room to keep her modesty in tact? ;) It must be so hard to constantly get everything right and be perfect? So as well as having the benefits of being the richest woman in the world, she is constantly in the public eye with us just ready to make judgements on the decisions she makes for us.

She has given up her life to rule our country and although that sounds like the best job in the world, i bet it get's rather tricky at times!! She's going to make mistakes, don't we all! But i suppose what makes her a good queen is learning from them and not giving up herself or us! She must be doing something right to have lasted 60 years! So i say well done to her she must be a very brave lady and let's hope whoever the future monarchs are they live up to her standards!

Anyway enough with the royal talk... it's been MY BIRTHDAYYYYY!!!! So seen as it was the jubille festivities, me being a secret queen and all ;) i had a royal tea party which was good! My friends and family spoiled me with gifts and lovely messages which was so unbelievably kind of everyone! I wasn't feeling all that well on the day so was a bit of a struggle to get through but some very amazing people at home and far away made my day special. :) So here's a few photo's to share with you from the day...
