I watched a bit of the regatta and I have to say I felt very moved, all those little boats on the Thames were a powerful reminder not only of the war but also of how important the river used to be as a thoroughfare.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-84159901802362970372012-06-03T22:53:15.244+01:002012-06-03T22:53:15.244+01:00Helen - I've missed you, very happy to see you...Helen - I've missed you, very happy to see you blogging again :)<br /><br />I'm very pleased with the teapot, but as for the rest of it the rain is damping things down somewhat - bunting is considerably bedraggled.Desperate Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708411387912078122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-87815024054881473142012-06-02T20:21:21.251+01:002012-06-02T20:21:21.251+01:00Bah, I am envious of all your jubilee celebrations...Bah, I am envious of all your jubilee celebrations and covetous of your beautiful teapot.
