Some random reflections on the late Queen of England (and Scotland, Wales & Northern Island and not-forgetting the Commonwealth) I only ever encountered the late Queen of England - Elizabeth II - once in real life.

This summer I've been taking advantage of the fine weather to do a lot of outdoor jobs - many of them the kind of mindless activities (like repainting a barn) you can do while listening to iTunes and still having enough spare brain capacity to think about life, the universe, everything.
