I have a program that spell checks everything I type on the internet.
It's called GNU.ASPELL you download and install it and its dictionaries, then it just runs in the background to spell check. Google it!

I was there for HRH's Silver Jubilee way back in 1977.
WOW! was that 35 years ago?
It was a fantastic time to be there and I enjoyed every minute despite the cold and rain. LOL!!!

What a beautiful City and what a wonderful celebration of Queen Elizabeth II! I would love to visit England sometime. My ancestors, most of them, were British. Such wonderful colors! Jan

You have a great idea to share with all of us !

I am French and I leave in England in Banbury and beleive me the atmostphere here in England is absolutely amazing. Not even the weather stop English people to celebrate the 60 years of reign of their Magesty the Queen Elisabeth II.

Today is a bank holiday for that event and the celebration has been going none stop for the last 3 days. People have street party, private party,...
A lot of houses have bunting of the union jack and flags with the queen on it.

I participated to a Jubilee Street market on Saturday, it was really nice. Children were dressed up as King and queen and joined the parade of Maurice dancing.
I used the designs sold on Embroidery Library, Big ben, the union jack flag in RW (see photo), some red roses, I digitised a queen's gard.
I really got into the atmosphere.
It was fantastic !

Today we are going to celebrate it with my children's scout group with picnic and roast pork tonight.

What an event ! What an atmosphere ! I love it.
Love Cathie Jones

My darling daughter Amy, Ophelie and Steve were there up until Friday and said the atmosphere is just amazing and the Brits just know how to use Bunting. Amy loves Bunting and has them in O's room. They are in France now celebrating Steve's 40th on Thursday. Can't wait to hear how France is treating them. Love Chris
