I do love J.K.Rowlings fabo dress but dear Prince Charlie always lets the side down showing his knees! I must apologize for him. What a wonderful night it is. We shall have a little more champagne you and I, and onto the floor once again for a "Scottish Reel" I do love those. Ahh such fun indeed, I doubt I'll get my MBE now!

Just enchanting Robynn, everything I loved on one blog page. The Nat King Cole Trio - superb and then my Dear Mr Bennett and wonderful KD Laing and the most perfect of all songs "Because of You" I must apologize once again for Camillo, she does let the side down, and in another 'room' Prince Charlie was wearing his kilt and Oh those knees !!, I do so wish they would cover up a bit. Thank you for your hospitality Susie Hemingway said in answer…

I thank you from the bottom of my heart and offer my profuse apologies for being despicably tardy. I am the last straggling guest as life showed up and tore me away from all the festivities. Your dear Queen Mum comforted me, however, and assured me she understands about difficult family situations and their often ill-timed appearance. She is all graciousness. So now I make my rounds to say hello and au revoir and offer my humblest gratitude to you for gracing my modest event. So lovely to have met you! Dear Susie~
