The Queen Remembers
I first saw this story in The Times, but it’s also here in the Daily Mail. This is the first few paragraphs.
The Queen will honour the bodyguard who protected her when she was a princess during the war by attending a chapel built in his memory next month.
Lieutenant Robin Tudsbery was one of the selected few members of the Royal Horse Guards assigned to guard the King, Queen and their daughters, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, during World War II.
The teenage princesses grew very fond of him, but tragically he was killed aged just 25 in Germany days before the conflict ended in 1945
It says in The Times, that the Queen,will be the only person at the service, who actually knew Lieutenant Tudsbury.
Come to think of it, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, must be almost the only world leaders, who experienced the Second World War first hand and still have their marbles about them!
My First Tomato And Onion Salad
I’ve always preferred tomato and onion salad to those with greenery, so today I made one to go with a steak and potatoes.
My First Tomato And Onion Salad
I got the recipe idea from the Daily Mail and all I did was slice an onion and some tomatoes and put some lemon juice and olive oil on top. The recipe is here.
I do wonder whether my liking for tomato and onion salad is because it seems to calm my mouth, when I get dried out in the winter. After all I like eating tomatoes! Is that for the same purpose?
Crowds Greet The New Buses For London On Route 24
Yesterday morning, I went to see how the New Buses for London were performing on Route 24 from Hampstead Heath to Pimlico.
I didn’t see any real problems except those caused by the crowds in Trafalgar Square and near Victoria Station.
I also got the impression that some tourists were a bit confused at the new buses.
This post shows though how the New Buses for London are superb ways to see the sights of London. Will the tourist buses suffer, when there are more routes with the new buses?
Especially, if someone does a commentary app for a smart phone, so you get the details on everything you pass.
