Congratulations to Her Majesty

As some of you know, I was borne in Canada and that makes me a loyal subject to Her Majesty Queen Elisabeth II. I was in London last week and could take in all the preparations for the Diamond Jubilee that takes part this weekend. I was with the assistant, and she had to go home to Norway, where I live now, before the celebrations and jubilations. Oh well.

The really good thing with me going to London is to meet my friends. I have a good friend that is a Norwegian moose that moved to London last summer. We met at the Tower Bridge for a nice chat in the sun. Chuck the moose likes it in England, but he misses the big forests sometimes he told me.

My friend Chuck and me.

I alos had time to spend an after noon with Henry (@henryandfriends). It was really nice to see him again so soon. He was in Norway only a week earlier and it felt like we were living very close to eatch other and just met up for a trip to Hamley's.

We had a really good time and looked at all the flags and spent some time in the big toy store. I was affraid someone would try to buy me....

Outside again I found a lovely chocolate store, and admired all the special Diamond Jubilee chocolates in pretty boxes. The assistant said it was too hot to buy chocolate as it would melt before we got back to the hotel. I think that would not have been a problem if we had eaten it right after we bought it....

All of London was full of flags and preparations for the big jubilee party. As we were walking across Trafalgar Square I heard some horses... it was the Royal Horseguard out practising I think. We didn't see them up close, but they looked splendid I think. The horses were really good, because it was hot and lot of traffic too.

I had the assitant take a photo of me at Trafalgar Square by one of the big lions. I hope you can see me there... I felt small in some ways...and that a man was staring down at me from high abow. I thought it was the heat that made me feeling strange... but the assistnat told me later that about 200 feet above where I sat was a man called Admiral Nelson... I hope he desen't fall down...









I had a really good time in London and I hope the Queen will have the same too. I think it will be a great celebration and that the people are happy.
