I'm quietly very disappointed that I won't be in the UK for Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee, it's the only Diamond Jubilee I'll ever experience, we'll see at least two Kings on the throne in the next 60 years. My reasoning for my patriotism is unclear, perhaps because I don't live in the UK and such events make me homesick - the Golden Jubilee passed me by, it's strange to think about the Queen, she's just always been in my life, whether on our coins, stamps, in an anthem or every year at Christmas - of course theres always the reason that maybe I just love to hang up some bunting, drink tea & eat scones!!
We're going to have a Jubilee celebration here in Italy...
