well kakki, they were guests at buckingham palace and there was somewhat a familiar bond because she had opened the trans-canada highway in my dad's riding, so after a few more meetings, i guess she trusted my mum enough to sit with her in a part of the palace and douse down several tanquerays and tonics (tnts)...
i won't go further than that...she is my queen you know! but it reminded me of queen ex-mother-in-law , "HELLen"...who when she flew to calgary to stay at my folks...i had been requested to have 2 bottles of fine gin waiting for her (she could douse them down and then still walk a cool thin line as if nothing had happened - a businesswoman, they tell me)...so i drove all the way to the liquor store and got 2 bottles of beefeater...but when she saw them (after who knows how many on the plane, this millionaire hotel owner says to me, "oh, (like, what kind of savage are you!) i drink nothing but tanqueray..." so bollocks, i'm off drivin down to do the whole task all over again, but it serves me right 'cause i married her daughter... shane
