No one can choose the family they are born into, that's a certified fact. Some are born privileged and with a responsibility they cannot shrug aside.

Sure I've followed the Princes growing up and have been interested in their careers in the British Armed Forces. I put that down to a generation thing, and because it seems to me that both William and Harry are down to earth guys doing what we'd all like to think we'd do in their position. I have got to admit it took all of maybe 30 seconds watching events unfold on the TV and I was hooked. I loved watching it all play out, and I felt genuine happiness for the couple. The entire wedding served to prove that this country, and indeed the monarchy, has something to offer not only it's people, but even the World. The Royal Family stood

Pride (before the Fall)

My son will be starting school this coming September at St. Paul's CEP School. This is outstanding and we have been very blessed. It is notoriously difficult to get into this school, and our prayers were answered. St Paul's CEP School is now in the top 100 performing primary schools in England and 4th in Kent.

CL> I started out buying some leather string and actually just tried knitting it… I took parts of my grandmother’s old jewelry or other stuff I could find in my jewelry shrine and implemented it into my bracelets to add the personality. These kinds of br
