HORSEYS!

Intellectually, I am all over the Republican side of things, but when it boils down to it, most politicians end up being twats or numpties, and despite the many shortcomings of the Monarchy, they really do cavalry tremendously well! I find I have confidence in a head of government backed up by swords on horseback.

That was a very satisfying wedding. Everyone looked terrific, or terrifically silly (which is just as good), the bride was the prettiest, no one else was dressed exactly like the Queen, and all the readings and lessons were generous and appropriate.

And I bet Harry volunteered to be in the kids' coach so he could encourage vigorous waving and giggling.

You are of course quite right, as she is in the UK, which is where my originally English head was at time of writing. Alas, my head is also full of snot, Pimm's, Prince Harry and hot chocolate, so it is certainly not at its shiny best!

Just as well I have no horses in this country, and the swords are all up on the top shelf where I cannot reach them!
