transit gloriania

 so its 60 years of the queen and  dating from  907AD  a lot longer for the monarchy   of course must not forget the last legitimate  king was Richard II Plantagenet  murdered by his cousin  Henry IV and that the house of Lancaster and york spent the next hundred years wiping each either out over  claims to the throne  ending in the completely illegal   claims of the Tudor dynasty   making some sort of peace
Given that  the queen mother lived to be over 100 years old  will we we be as  glorious about the 70th jubilee in 2022 and our endless monarch

Where as England was once four kingdoms Scotland was of course a kingdom from 843AD    and  I think it is still part  of the united kingdom

it is also the period  of the transit  - the Transit of Venus that is
unlike 2004 when i had a transit cake  of lemon icing and chocolate drop baked for me by my learners  the 2012 is in the middle of the European night  
of course all planets transit the sun at intervals  found this video of the transit of earth  seen from Mars not to be viewed   until  2084 when hopefully Mars will have human colonies -  same hope once expressed for the 1984 transit
