Sad Royal News!

Friday saw the death of Prince Philip The Duke of Edinburgh. The television of course has been more orlesswall to wall programmes about hslife over the 99 years he lived. Such a shame for The Queen who will miss him such a lot.  He was forthright, funny and a huge support to her, and always his own man. Sadly missed. Funeral next Saturday at Windsor Castle with 30 of his family present.  I suspect the way he would have preferred because he hated fuss apparently. 

Another week begins with essential shops being opened and bars and pubs being allowed to open if they can serve in outside spaces. Bit cold for that though it is nor warm today. If you were having a meal outside I think it would cool down quite quickly. The news this morning showed a variety of shops open in various places including shops in Chester. Schools are back today too after their Easter break.  Mark came today, and said the traffic was definitely heavier probably due to that as well. he came about a quarter to ten and is coming back next week then it will be back to two weeks again hopefully. 

Jessie of course has done her usual disappearing act as soon as he arrived. Vin says she knows when something is going on when the vacuum arrives, and she is then very wary. When the front door opens again then she runs off upstairs, straight under Jane's bed. She likes it there all quiet in the corner and nice and safe. 


 The vanishing cat!
