London pageantry is as far away to me as American glitz and television is the only medium that I would get to see either if I wanted that of course, which I don't. I would rather the healthier get togethers of villages when the community mucks in (pardon the pun!). I am not for hunting in any shape or form but on Boxing Day the Beaufort Hunt team with small children on their ponies go through the village town of Thornbury Nr. Gloucester and the red coats are impressive to watch and everyone seems to be out with all kinds of working dogs. If I do tune in to a 'Royal' occasion it is mainly to see the horses if anything. And to sneak a little look at 'that dress'.
