Here's to Another Year

It was a great deal of fun to celebrate my birthday on the same day as the official birthday of the Queen. Though Her Majesty's actual birthday was several months ago (the same day as another of my family members, coincidentally), the Royal family, Prime Minister, RAF and a few thousand Londoners turned out to celebrate the event. Custom has dictated that it is preferable to publicly celebrate a sovereign's birthday in the summer when weather was expected to be better (than winter). I will admit that I was disappointed to learn that the fly-by was not on my behalf.

I think the idea of two birthday celebrations is a good one; two cakes are never a bad idea.
