The other day someone actually commented that these soldiers couldn’t be Irish because they were playing the bagpipes. Sigh.

      Yes maybe. There's life on this planet. But not as we know it. Be prepared. Just saying that secret societies create humans that don't look human to me. They don't have a name or a colour. But they do have companies. And a virtual army of employees. They buy votes. So is the food good where you are or may you do just as well if you had to line up for an hour to get actual food. Not packaging and is having come via so many hands and trucks that it could be that is not food at all. Just looks like it is on the box. Another skill is knowing how to utilize the natural resources in one's own neighbour and regional area. If we can have a feast of unleavened bread it is worth it for people who don't know how to mix water salt and flour together., and how to make a hot griddle useful in its entirety. Like when you bake cup cakes after cooking a roasted piece of meat or a joint., because fuel or power to heat the oven that's already hot shouldn't be wasted. Or too ,to pew.. dry socks?? Lol . I hand wash my socks every day. Meat in the old days in new countries like Australia was pretty much alright to eat whether it was roasted or boiled with a bone or as a cut., but not these days. You must heed the bible king James and only boil a cut. Don't boil anything with a bone in it. Birds for eating also. Unless they're 💯 percent organically raised and able to move around so that they don't get black leg rot from no muscle activity to move the lymph around. 2023 horses are getting pressure cuffs run hydrolically - pneumatic pressure cuffs because ,"horses are prone to lymphatic stress in the lower limbs because of a lack of musculature," Professor Schinder of Sth Carolina says but l can't see that God made ba mistake with their design and think it's more like that an excess fluid in legs and feet from strains and injuries is perhaps soft hooves in cold damp ? for too long. Like donkeys have moisture sensitive hooves and if you want to read more about this go to Erica Jurgen Hoof blog. The black bones in caged meat hens can't be good for humans to eat. Iron and decaying lymph. And anything else that's diseased we're not supposed to eat. Just because it's drenched in gravey.... no 👎 do not eat it. Practise making your own unleavened bread at home and the children will be happier wherever they might be in the world because they're being recognised when we as adults and leaders make it so that their concerns matter and that there's something can be done about it immediately.

    The US Army Cavalry also has Caisson Unit out of Colorado, I believe. Twice they came for a week long stay with demonstrations at carriage competition held annually for 50 years just outside of Rochester, NY. The demonstrations were absolutely amazing to watch. As I was competing in the show I was able to be in the stabling area & witness the prep work the soldiers put into each performance. As to the performance, seeing them charge into the arena at a full gallop, do a figure of 8 pattern to position the canon, unhitching the horses, firing the canon, re-hitch & charge back out - all in much less than 10 minutes, was breath taking. These solders made & repaired all harness & saddlery, along with all of their other duties. I believe it was a 2 yr rotation, then back to a regular duty station. From my understanding the King’s Guard is also rotational & these are trained military soldiers. I wish they got the respect they deserve when they are posted at the gates. They are soldiers, first & foremost, not there as a photo op prop to make tourist happy. I thank the military for their service to their respective nation.

      Glad to read a top comment from a fellow Queen Elizabeth 2 admirer. Still miss her & expect to see her walking or riding her horse round Windsor, she never hide away & you could be walking in Windsor park & the Queen would ride past chatting away to whoever she was out riding with (usually her racehorse trainer), she would always say hello & comment on the weather). Windsor definitely feels different without her & Prince Philip, even now, as the saying goes 'a light has gone out', very true. The Queen would approve that you saw through Markle, MM & Harry even lied to the Dene of Windsor at their wedding rehearsal, the Queen had the order of service written & it was written giving their birth names, the lawful names for the ceremony, Henry & Rachel. MM wasn't happy & told the Dene that they had authority to change the service address from Rachel to Meghan, a blatant lie. During the ceremony when the Dene says Henry & then Meghan, you can see the instant outrage in the Queen's face & composure, Philip also instantly shoots her a side glance & from that moment the Queen must have known MM was trouble, trouble that was happy to lie to a man of God, in the sacrid chapel of the Queen of England. That has to be one of the biggest insults imaginable to the Queen not to mention how upset the Dene was when he learnt the truth. Harry knew how much upset this would cause & this is when he shouted at a member of staff "what M wants, M gets". How arrogant. She orchestrated the lot. He went along with it so they deserve each other. How could he do that to his family for someone he had known for 5 mins??. How hurtful, I would be devastated if my brother did this, I would never get over it. William's heart must be broken & also bitter, thank goodness he had Catherine.

    Those horses all have such different personalities and attitudes about going to "work". There is one that is obviously the work comedian, there are the grumpy ones, not quite ready to get on with the days activities. You can see the ones that are thinking "ho hum", another day on the job This was really enjoyable to watch,

    What a sight to behold. The beautiful horses and the soldier’s in their fine uniforms. The organisation, the practice that has to be done behind the scenes. I’m delighted I came across this video on UA-cam. I would never have seen it otherwise even if I had come to London. It made me glad that there is still a place for tradition and one that can keep, and look after, so many horses beautifully.

      People like to feel appreciated in life at some point, soldiers are no different, no matter what country they are from, what we shouldn't forget is they are prepared to fight in war to keep their fellow countryfolk safe & free, I would do that if I didn't have a choice but I wouldn't be on the front line, I'd be on the deck playing dead!!. When you think about what soldiers do then we all should be more grateful & respectful. These soldiers are a tourist attraction but firstly they are the guard of the Queen or King & they will 'guard' with their life without hesitation. 😲✌️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

      I went to the procession at Arlington when my uncle was buried there. It WAS remarkable and very moving. It demonstrated immense respect for those military personnel who defied our country every day and the sacrifices that they AND their families make. …Unlike trump who has said that captured POW’s and those killed in action are “SUCKERS AND LOSERS.” Shameful! He then says that our military “loves” him and hugs the flag in a foolish histrionic attempt to convince his adoring followers that he loves this country. His feeble minded, vociferous, adamant, reality deficit worshippers STILL are unable to understand that he loves ONLY HIMSELF. …not them, not this country ….HIMSELF, power and the money he can suck out of them. He, like all amazing conmen, has an incredible gift of pandering and influencing the hopefully vulnerable and unfortunately susceptible who actually DO love our country. They look to him as a savior. HE’S NOT.

    My father was a lance bombardier and Bren gunner in the Royal Artillery on a 6-pownder anti-tank gun and saw action in the Italian Campaign in WW2. He was permanently deaf in his right ear, the result of a German tank shell. He often spoke of officers in the following fashion.. "If you can't fight, wear a big 'at." Looking at the officers here, I can understand what he meant!

    Their not just for ceramonies they r trained to fight in wars as well.
    The guns they have here r for dispaly but can fire real rounds if needed. but they use more modern guns for wars.
    Not sure what guns they use now but they used to use FV433 abbots a 105mm self propeld gun. based on the same chassis as the FV432 APC.
    My unit used the Swedish 105mm light gun modified so it could be dropped by parachute or air lifted by chopper. and be able to fire from landing craft in amphoibius landings that replaced the Italian pack howitzer as that could be broken down into smaller parts and carried by pack horses for mountain and jungle mission. but a bit too heavy for air lifts and para drops. we kept both guns as the light gun was no good in jungles and mountains as it couldnt be broken down to be carried by pack horses.
    Everyone in my battery had para and commando training. As far as i know we were the only artillery battery in NATO that had that training.
