THE PULL OF THE HOME.

Although I am an American citizen, I am still a British subject, belonging to the Commonwealth. Therefore, I hope you don’t mind my posting a picture of our lovely queen. She will be 92 years on 21 April.

I loved what she said in her Christmas speech this last year. “We think of our homes as places of warmth, familiarity and love; of shared stories and memories, which is perhaps why at this time of the year so many return to where they grew up. There is a timeless simplicity to the pull of the home.”
