2011 - Day 245

I had to go to my car a different way as I had to have another Hepititis jab (the first set didn't take) and going back I spotted this on the way ... a post box from the reign of Queen Victoria (they are a different colour, and all have the monarch's initials on them.

Nice to spot some history

Oh that is SO cool!

When our wonderful Queen lives 4 more years she will beat Vicky as the longest Reigning Monarch of England and I want her too as well, cos I think both Reigns were *so* different and I really want to see the longest Reigning ever in my life time :)

Don't see many of the Victorian post boxes around now, do we?

Yes, great to see Liz doing so well ... and Phil!

Both reigns have seen SO many changes, haven't they?

[jaded-jamie.livejournal.com]

Amazing really. Both have adapted so well to those changes and given the public, in a true and breathtaking service, given their positions, to the subjects of Her Realm. Paying tax, becoming more accessible to the public and much, much more, she is in my mind the greatest Monarch we have ever had and that is against some pretty stiff competition.

We have an amazing Queen ... but there again, her parents were pretty special people, as well.

That's very cool. I love it when you can pinpoint the age of an artifact!

It is great to see on all our post boxes - and even better when you spot a Victorian one.

Ahh, that's so incredible! I love history and this seems fascinating to me! :)

It is great to see on all our post boxes, as they all have the Monach's name on them - and even better when you spot a Victorian one.
