He is risen! He is risen indeed!
Wishing you a wondrous Easter Sunday!
And also today, April 21st...
April 21st is National Tea Day in England...I know what you are thinking, isn't every day???
Well, yes, but this is the official one.
And today I am drinking Twining's Darjeeling... a repeat buy here at my home.
And I hope you have a cup to raise to toast a birthday!
Because April 21, 1926 is Queen Elizabeth II's actual birthday...

As we saw her on Thursday, looking fabulous, the Queen is 93 years old April 21st and is a marvel!
So here is a Shelley coronation teacup from 1953 with my favorite sepia photograph taken by the Queens then brother-in-law Anthony Armstrong-Jones who was married to Princess Margaret....
I found these patriotic biscuits at Tetley tea...

April 21st is the actual birthday of Queen Elizabeth II, although it is officially celebrated in June as the weather's more predictable.

So Happy Birthday Ma'am!
Hope you had a wonderful Easter.
ReplyDeleteI have a January birthday and this year, we got a huge snowstorm on my birthday. Maybe I should follow the Queen and celebrate my birthday later--when the weather is more predictable. I just saw the newly released photos of Baby Louis. Too cute!
Ruth, you've shocked me! I would never have dreamed this post was going to have a "doctored" photo of HM the Q as Wonder Woman! :D
