A marathon in life & reign

I have just finished reading this book by Giles Brandreth.
Our daughter bought it fir her mother in law Ruth for Christmas so I borrowed it.
A real block buster its taken me a good while to get through it.
I enjoyed it very much & whatever opinion you hold about our Royal family the sheer volume of work her Majesty did over her long reign beggars belief!
She devoted her whole life to her country.

Three good things:
1. Another beautiful day.
2. Our NZ daughter in laws birthday today.
3. Our youngest son & his partner enjoyed the same Rod Stewart concert that @julzmaioro went to last night.

I am currently reading this . I quite like Gyles Brandreth & this is well written.

@carole_sandford Yes I really like Giles Brandreth & he was very close to all that went on….you can believe what he says!

[Judith Johnson]

I'm glad you both enjoyed it. I'm not sure it's for me though. I'm still only half way through the Barack Obama memoir, bought for me a year past Christmas!

Love Gyles B.
Worth trying ‘something rhymes with purple’ with Susie Dent and GB on bbc sounds..

[Pat Knowles]

@caddick Thank you, I will give that a go!

[Maggiemae]

[Beryl Lloyd]

Sounds like an interesting read. I do like Gyles Brandreth. I saw a review to his autobiography Odd Boy Out a couple of months ago. Have you read that book too?

[Sarah Bremner]

Oh that's an interesting volume. I would love to get an opportunity to read it..
Perhaps the library will have a copy.
And the author was quite close to the family so no doubt kindly written.

[Sarah Bremner]

@busylady I understand what you mean. I love so many books but reading them is quite a different thing.

[Pat Knowles]

@sarah19 There was a copy on the mobile library last week so I’m sure your library will have one too!

[Pat Knowles]

@onewing No I haven’t Babs but a good one to borrow in the library! Thanks!

[bkb in the city]

Thanks for sharing this. I will have to look for it

[Hazel]

I'm not a royalist but wholeheartedly agree with your comments - and she never put a foot (or even a toe) wrong!

[Joan Robillard]

Nice

Would be a good read. She certainly gave her life to The Commonwealth..
Missed seeing you mentioned me in your narrative.. Did Ants enjoy the concert.. we certainly did.

@julzmaioro Yes they really did Julz! Never seen him before. Took them a while to get home!
