I can only imagine the pomp and ceremony that will be taking place in the UK over this weekend with the official celebrations of the Queen’s 60th Jubilee. Here in the colonies we shall make the most of the usual long weekend in honor of her Majesty’s Official Birthday.  Today heralds the official start to winter but I don’t think anyone aligned this occasion with climate fairies though as we’ve been wallowing in hard frosts yet sunny days for several weeks now.  This is my kind of winter weather.
