After 24hr w/out net service and three calls to our provider's service desk (First time I am not happy w/the so called help from the Help Service people. All that needed to happen was to unplug and replug in the router as it had locked on me, so...Yeah.) between last night, today and then someone w/tech knowledge than the first two I talked to calling me back tonight, the problem was solved and I'm now all caught up w/things. Also breathing again after more than a bit of panic on my end. Okay then....
What a couple of weeks, huh!?! I think this tour has been a spectacular success for the Cambridges and both have blossomed and are far more at ease than many of us ever seen them. Yes, the little crumb snatcher (I love that nickname for him. Perfect for that stage and age.) has a bit to do w/it, but also this is a couple that truly is a team and both knows they can count on the other when needed. I don't think that can be underestimated on William's side of things. Also Kate has come a very long way and nothing showed that more than her speech at the Children's Hospice. When I think of the very nervous young lady who did those first two speeches and then of the far more at ease Duchess and also far more poised delivery Kate gave just a week and a bit ago....It's like daylight and dark the difference.
I think when they get home and maybe given a day to relax, there's going to be a very proud Granny calling to let them know they did very well indeed.
Oh and I almost forgot....I love what Kate wrote in her message in her posy left at the Australian Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Sentiments we should all keep in mind everyday, as if not for their sacrifice....
To our Aussie Members...I was literally bowled over looking at the pictures of the Cambridges at your National War Memorial. You truly have, while fittingly sombre, a beautiful place to go to in order to pay honour to your Fallen. It really is stunning. What was the wall of Poppies William and Kate were seen examining all about? I wasn't able to see any names engraved on the wall beside any of the Poppies and the article didn't explain about it either, so just wondering.
Sigh...I'm going to miss getting all this lovely coverage everyday. It certainly has been fun and a huge Thanks to both our Aussie and Kiwi Members for all of the links and work in helping us to follow along w/Mummy, Daddy and the Crumb Snatcher's Adventures Down Under!!
