Changing Guard at Buckingham Palace.......

Leesa and I had a great trip to Buckingham Palace,

which was absolutely heaving.... they say to be there by 11.15 am , I think a lot earlier!


My great friend Leesa

Please click on photos to enlarge!


This is a poem written by A.A.Milne who also

wrote Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner.

Christopher Robin was based upon the author A. A Milne's,

own son Christopher Robin Milne.


Buckingham Palace

They're changing guard at Buckingham Palace -
Christopher Robin went down with Alice.
Alice is marrying one of the guard.
"A soldier's life is terrible hard,"
Says Alice.

They're changing guard at Buckingham Palace -
Christopher Robin went down with Alice.
We saw a guard in a sentry-box.
"One of the sergeants looks after their socks,"
Says Alice.

They're changing guard at Buckingham Palace -
Christopher Robin went down with Alice.
We looked for the King, but he never came.
"Well, God take care of him, all the same,"
Says Alice.

They're changing guard at Buckingham Palace -
Christopher Robin went down with Alice.
They've great big parties inside the grounds.
"I wouldn't be King for a hundred pounds,"
Says Alice.

They're changing guard at Buckingham Palace -
Christopher Robin went down with Alice.
A face looked out, but it wasn't the King's.
"He's much too busy a-signing things,"
Says Alice.

They're changing guard at Buckingham Palace -
Christopher Robin went down with Alice.
"Do you think the King knows all about me?"
"Sure to, dear, but it's time for tea,"
Says Alice.

    I still haven't seen the changing of the guard and I've been in London...let's see...3 times now. Next time! And then I'll head out to the country areas - Oxford, Cambridge, etc.
    What's this about shootings in the Lake District today?
