And as you do many times, you had me in tears as you spoke about the beacon fire and the fire lighter, Mr. Smith. Your Deputy Lord-lieutenant got it right! I have been watching from across the pond as I admire Queen Elizabeth II very much. Somehow to me, the beacon fires hearken back to the earliest days of the empire, before she was an empire. Thanks so much for sharing and I look very much forward to your conversations with Mr. Smith. Please give him my best!Catie Scarlettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13338747616852231802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-89678241199773471752012-06-06T13:38:54.777+01:002012-06-06T13:38:54.777+01:00Whenever I read your blog, I find myself wanting t...Whenever I read your blog, I find myself wanting to be transported to wherever you are, doing whatever you may be doing at the time, or experiencing what you're writing about. This story was no exception. I, too, would love to meet the people you're talking about, hear their stories, and enjoy the lighting of the beacon. I especially would have loved to have heard Psalm 23 being sung.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03852361286674074590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-45016214759395930052012-06-06T04:04:17.221+01:002012-06-06T04:04:17.221+01:00Thanks for sharing!

Can't wait to learn more of the gentlemen's life who helped w/ the lighting of the beacon. I love learning history firsthand, from the person who experienced it.Mrs.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733696095180815920noreply@blogger.com
