Day 293 - Her Majesty the Queen


Without work on today, I thought why not partake in a little Royal Spotting! With Her Majesty the Queen in town with Prince Philip it was a perfect opportunity. Beautiful weather on Lake Burley Griffin for Her Majesty to sail along from Government House to Floriade. She looked very relaxed as the boat went past lots of local well wishers. Even offering a royal wave every now and then. 

However, sitting for more than an hour on the edge of Lake Burley Griffin on such a beautiful day leads to me of course sporting a little sunburn on the arms. But I am happy to suffer that for a glimpse at this elegant 85 year old! Of course she has such great skin, she is so very sun smart, even if she was showing a little leg on the boat. I could take a leaf out of her book.

I don't expect to see her tour Canberra, or even Australia again, so I was glad I got to sit and offer a wave to the royal pair.
