As Kite, my trusty, old Welsh Corgi turns 16 this May, it's perfect timing for a celebration of the Queen's favorite canine. Quirky and characterful, just like the best of Brits, the Corgi has been a constant companion of British Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II throughout her life.
World focus will be on Britain this summer not only for the Olympic Games, but for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Celebrations. It almost breaks my heart not to be heading over the pond after school gets out this year, but rest assured, I'll be posting plenty of tidbits from my British American perspective once the revelries commence.
In the meantime, I stumbled across a selection of delightful Corgi print goodies from Britbased designers Thornback and Peel. But if pugs and labs are more your cup of tea, check out old favorite, Emma Bridgewater's canine mug collection.
Many Happy Returns to Kite! Perhaps a little something extra on his special day? "...some caviare, or Strassburg Pie ...? Opps! That's T.S. Eliot!
