Older women that get their hair done weekly like scarfs to help keep their "do" in place. :) :) As to not having a fav... can't say I'm singling any one particular as an outright favourite either. I do like number 4 - very playful - but not practical for me to draw.<br /><br />And... you're welcome - considering all you've done (and are still doing) over at Ruth's Recipes I felt you need to hear it publicly.

I'm not always successful in getting everything I ask for, but the alternative of asking for nothing and getting everything I asked for is not an option.<br /><br />I imagine The Queen is quite tightly scheduled and protected at the many functions she goes to, but... should you ever find yourself in camera shot - let me know. :) :) Pearson Reporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422640826640133140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9889100.post-32970826708575981382013-04-20T17:37:49.370-07:002013-04-20T17:37:49.370-07:00Oh, you didn't know that... you must have been...Oh, you didn't know that... you must have been out of the country when the whole Robin meets The Queen thingy erupted during his "getting into character" field trip to England. They hit it off and during filming she would fire off a quick note, via her secretary, when he was not quite in character. It's the reason the show was such a success!! Hmm... odd you missed this - it made news everywhere - even in Norway.<br /><br />While writing The Queen I might throw in a plea that some desperate American is looking for "the Buckingham finger" - their might be something laying around from one of those world soccer games that leaves carnage, mayhem and foam fingers in their aftermath.

It's obvious we all like to see The Queen in a more relaxed mode.<br /><br />I think she wears those head scarfs to prevent her "do" from getting blown all over the place. She must have quite a collection. Seldom is she in the same one! I will get the 411 on them the next time I phone. :P :P <br /><br />Yes, Al and I are having a wee bit too much fun, wouldn't you say!

While I may not always comment - I do drop in and read and enjoy the energy that pops off the page; colourful and uplifting.<br /><br />Thank you for coming by and visiting - I'm having fun with this project and will certainly be sharing it as it unfolds. The Queen has long fascinated me, mostly because she looks so much like my dear godmother, but also because I imagine hers is not an easy life for all its wealth and glamour I think it is a difficult one.<br /><br />With smiles, from the other Jenny. :) :) Pearson Reporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422640826640133140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9889100.post-20809629431503965392013-04-20T12:38:38.384-07:002013-04-20T12:38:38.384-07:00I didn't know anyone still wore scarves that w...I didn't know anyone still wore scarves that way.

To answer I'm sorry we were not allowed to take photos only the official photographers were allowed to do so inside and I never got the chance outside. TBH I did see the Queen being introduced to some of the managers when I was walking back after seeing the Duke but had to get out of the way till she had gone. If it happens again I'll get official status.
