That was a good message - that we should serve others, not demand from them. I know he didn’t scold people about being demanding but those who are “above” serving seem to have no shame when it comes to being served. No particular persons in mind, just a general observation.

There's hat fur-trimmed hat again. I hope she has something else on Easter.

I'm sure she'll wear something very springish, weather permitting.

It's still bitterly cold here in the UK. Currently we are experiencing northerly gales coming directly from the Artic. The fur hat is a sensible choice at the moment.

Martha, your observation is spot on, as is the King's message. It was so appropriate for Holy Thursday in particular.
I hear you about the cold. It's mild today and tomorrow, but Sat. and Sun. it's going to be, not bitterly cold, but cold enough that spring outfits and sandals have to stay in the closet. Boots and sweaters will be in vogue, this year.

Easter is early this year so I guess we can expect cold weather. When I was growing up in Iowa, we often had snow on Easter Sunday which spoiled it for wearing our new clothes. We went to church in winter clothes and boots. I don't remember anyone having a fur-trimmed hat.

Queen Elizabeth's Cartier Gold And Sapphire Brooch Clips

I thought those were the late QEII's clips. If I'm not mistaken Princess Margaret had the same set of clips except for rubies instead of sapphires.

I can't remember noticing these clips before, but I love them. Sapphires are my favorite gem.
