Happy Birthday Queen Victoria!
You weren’t really a looker, and if you were alive today, you’d be 197 years old. Your granddaughter, Elizabeth, has shattered your record for longest-reigning monarch. You kept a journal and were said to write about 2,500 words a day. By hand. Without a keyboard. That’s Stephen-King-like volume.
We break open two-fours of beer in your honour, and sleep in on a blissful Monday morning that heralds the unofficial start to summer. Thanks, Vicky.
