THE JUBILEE SONG – SING- BY GARY BARLOW – AMAZING

I’m sharing this with you guys because I watched the programme that made this song it was totally awesome.
Listen and share. This song is made from people from all over the world that make up the Commonwealth – nations that joined together to trade and celebrate the fact that they have the same Monarch who’s been on the throne for sixty years.
The choir is made up of military wives who’ve rocked our world. As well as many people from Africa, Australia, Jamaica and the Solomon Islands. It’s just wonderful. LOVE IT!

DESERT ORCHID EPISODE 10 AND OLYMPIC TORCH THROUGH MY TOWN YESTERDAY
Hello my darlings,
As promised, here’s the Olympic Torch on its way through my town yesterday in the rain (typical). The torch was handed over to various people who contribute a great deal of their time to serve our community. There was an elderly man and various others along with this girl, a star who’s overcome many hurdles to help others.
Aaaaand, Episode Ten of Desert Orchid is in pages and the whole pdf file is available to download too.
I’ll post pictures of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations being held over the next four days. The UK is coming to a grinding halt while we all celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s sixty years on the throne. Wow!
What are you all up to? Please come in and share!
Right, diving back into the writing cave.

DESERT ORCHID CHAPTER NINE

Desert Orchid
Hello my darlings!
The heat is definitely on with the temperature here in the UK a balmy 89 degrees and rising!
After the wettest April in living memory the gardens resemble plants on crack cocaine and the poor bees are starving because of no flowers, ie no food.
I took a few days off from writing and tweeting and facebooking and blogging. My friend, August, calls it taking a mental health break and I absolutely get what she’s saying.
Reckless Nights In Rome is still ticking along. A Stormy Spanish Spring is ready to rock for a July launch and Desert Orchid is rocking. The things I do to this pair has had me crying (in a good way) and I LOVE Khalid who Charisse calls the ‘Rock Star’.
How are things with you guys? What are you working on and how are you doing? How’s the weather with you? Hot, cold, wet or dry? Is it just the Brits who care about the weather?
Next weekend is the Elizabeth II, the Queen’s 60th Anniversary of when she took the throne and the whole country is having a party. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for us to celebrate a wonderful woman who put her country and duty before herself.
Then the UK is hosting the Olympics at the end of July this year and the torch is running through my town this week! I shall post photos!
