Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Anniversary

 2nd June 1953 the Queen was crowned. She is now 94 and this week was seen out riding her horse, a truly amazing woman. I have been working hard on my Teresa Gil 'Queen of the World' cross stitch and enjoying stitching it and thanks to Covid 19 lockdown I have had plenty of time.
 Teresa named her cross stitch after the book by Robert Hardman. I thought it might be hard to buy but then discovered my local library had it on the shelf. I will renew it as much as I can but think I will still buy a copy
 Then heard about a TV show of the same name in the U.K and wondered if it would ever be shown in Australia. Amazingly while deleting lots of my recorded shows I found I had already recorded it months ago. E II R is most definitely Queen of the World.
 Must not forget Prince Philip who will be 99 on the 10th June. Next year on his 100th birthday he will receive a telegram from the Queen. The small cross stitch of Philip I worked a few years ago and is a Sheena Rogers design.
