Raising a Royalist

I am not a great fan of the Royal family.  I don't hate them, I just don't really understand the point of them.  I find the history fascinating, but that's about it.
Jasmine, however, has a bit of a soft spot for all things patriotic and has a soft spot for the Queen.  She has been enthusiastically waving her Union Jack for the past week and wanted to go to London solely to visit "the Queen's house" (more on that story later).
I suspect we will be watching the Jubilee concert this evening.  Enjoy the long weekend!


N.B. - the mug in the photo was decorated by Jasmine at her preschool; the drawing on the front is her impression of the Queen.  Oh, and her face is kinda green because she was a witch yesterday.
