RE: Typical Spring Weather in Scotland for our walk

I used to work in London and it isn't that far really from Edinburgh, mind you the train is quicker than the bus.
I actually thought Charles was going to set Scotland and Ireland free once he became king.
Ireland is a country in its own right and is part of the EU while we the UK aren't. The monarch has no powers to do anything like that anymore.
We have an extremely complicated history, me being a protestant from Northern Ireland that had to leave as a child due to The Troubles I most definitely am British.

It's the truth hey. the monarchy is just a great marketing tool. The real power lies with parliament. I was stoked, not being a fan of Charles AT ALL, when he knighted Skin from Skunk Anansi. That brought goosebumps and tears to my eyes!

The monarchy is the only thing that Britain has left to make it different from everywhere else. I am protestant from Norn Iron and so I am very much British through and through and a Rangers supporter. At every football match we will sing the national anthem of God Save the King.
I met the Queen as a child and sang in front of her. The day she died I stopped smoking after decades of smoking.
lol the great thing about life is we can all be different and have different opinions.
Charles was called a fruit cake in the 70s when he warned about the climate, yet everything he foretold has come to fruition. They do a ton of good. That ginger child though, he can stay in America.
Anyway here's to a cracking June for everyone.
Yeah, admittedly, my heart sank too when she passed on. I really thought she was going to make it to 100. but 96 (I think it was) is one hell of an inning!) .
Charles had plenty of really wonderful and forward thinking ideas. If only his life hadn't been caught up in so much propaganda and scandal. People were definitely not focused on the right things and that's most likely because the powers that be were not ready to hear what he had to say.
He definitely could have made far more of a difference if he was allowed to assume the throne earlier and could have avoided so much pain for all parties involved had he just been allowed to marry the love of his life to start with.
