Have You Been Served?

Are you being served! But you’re right, they’re funny!

Celia:

Ooooh…currently drooling over picture of Hampton Court Palace…

There’s tons of historic places I’d want to visit in Britain. The Tower, for instance, where Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard are buried.

Anne’s remains were buried at the Chapel of St. Peter ad Vincula. Her cousin Katherine was buried next to her.

Celia:

I think the crown jewels are there as well.

Yup!

Celia:

I’m having a brain fart here but what is the name of the palace where Elizabeth I and her sister Mary are buried? That one too.

Westminster Abbey. Mary was her half sister.

Celia:

I think the Boleyn family estate is still in existence as well, right? What is it called, Hever? And I think I’ve heard there’s parts left of where the Queen of Scots was imprisoned by Elizabeth for so many years.

Hever Castle is very near where I live and a favourite of mine; absolutely beautiful. There’s a few pics of it here: -

Celia:

Or the palace at Hatfield but I don’t know if that still exists or not.

The old Palace of Hatfield was Elizabeth Ist’s childhood home

It still exists.

Very impressive Celia; you have a good grasp of history!

One thing I did not mention to be proud of England is that we share the same…QUEEN!

I’ve met the Her Majesty. I was chosen to represent the Cubs when she visited our District. I was very proud and nervous. She was lovely. I do think that she is a fantastic stateswoman and someone who works very hard at an extremely difficult job. She is selfless in her pursuit and has lived her entire life for her country.

The men! They are great at conversation AND if they are out out on a date or in a group setting they always pay for everything. But they still expect me to have a brain, which is even more important!
