Sipra,s Diary , Queen Elizabeth 11 passed away! Sep 8/2022

 

      




  ......It seems to me. 'End of    an.  Era'.   Me and my daughter both are so sad .

    The    Queen,  our beloved queen,  passed away. 

 

We  spent last.  weeks. of May   in London, just two months ago  .  The city was   busy for celebrating coronation jubilee  Crowd of tourists  ,including us,  watched the gate  , the balcony from where Queen used to wave hands    on special days .

We took afternoon tea  ( not far from the palace area)    in 'Fortnum and Mason '   where. a table  was booked by my daughter , Here  all  utensils and wall tablecloth etc were soothing turquoise colour .There was a photo of the Queen  on wall. My daughter said  " this tea  is   favorite for the queen and Royal family ."    You see  here  decoration  mostly in soothing  turquise  colour as queen's favourite . 

She bought 'Fortnum &Mason'Tea for the whole year , though she seldom takes tea.

 From childhood I  am  very  much proBritish which I inherited from my father &brother. A part of my childhood life spent in British neighbourhood as my father was Railway  officer .My father often used  them as example  for their  punctuality ,  discipline. and strength of mind .   

Thanks 'Netflix,'for the movie "Queen";My regards to  the producer, director writer and the artists!   We  watch it  almost every week-end like serial . We watched it repeatedly .It seems to us as. R                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        eality show and not  not as movie.   Through Netflix we  have been ,as if, so close, with pleasure& pain, fun of Royal family  .  

 ...Feeling  sad, sleepy.
