It was with sadness last night that we learned of the death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, our nation’s Queen.

For us Brits, this is a sad day.  I feel at half-mast too, just as all our flags are flying.  

Of course there’s always change happening in our lives and on the horizon and it’s inevitable.  

How lucky we were to have her as our Queen for so long and it’s only someone over the age of, say, 76 who can remember a time when she wasn’t.

I feel quiet, thoughtful, a bit teary, hopeful, confused and half-mast…all at the same time.  

That’s all for now.
