I may be butting in here, but I get the distinct impression that kitch is closely akin to hockey.

HOCKEY?!?!

Wishful, our tour was in 1989 with Globus Tours out of Toronto. That probably wouldn't help you one bit.

I loved everything about that trip, especially the fact that we had NO rain, and it was in the last week of March!! My favourite place was Edinburgh. I think it's theeee most beautiful city I've ever seen.

ALL THE CALVARY HORSES ARE SHIPPED OVER FROM IRELAND TO TRAIN TO BE THE QUEENS HORSES THERE ALL BLACK AND UNTOUCHED AND USUALLY IRISH DRAUGHT ,

 

[rabbitsfizz]

Kitsch- "tacky" in poor taste, over the top,pretentious. From the Yiddish.

Sunny,

We stayed in Edinburgh as well...before driving our way across Scotland. My Husbands family comes from there...they are Scots! The historic mile is amazing huh. We had so much fun going through the big castle there...we all pretended it was ours for the day HA!! We were Bravehearts for the day HA!

Ohh, Ohhhh, Ohhhhhh I almost forgot...we got to see Prince Charles wife up close and personal...Ill post the pic of that too. I always have my camera ready...so, when we saw these two limos pull up and, the police held back traffic...I was ready...ok, ok the waving big haired blond lady was a tip off too HA!!

We were so excited until we went into a little shop close to were we saw her...the shop owner informed us...they all strongly dislike her...so, to say the least...we kept our excitement to ourselves

ok, Ill be back with that picture and of course Janes beloved Carriage photo

she may want to frame it for her bedside...just kidding Fizzy Girl!!

Shane...we loved Ireland the most...I am Irish girl so, I felt right at home...the people ar AWESOME!!!

 

[GREENWOODMINIS]

[GREENWOODMINIS]

We were standing there going...Hey...thats you know who

 

[GREENWOODMINIS]

Ok, Jane here is your "favorite" Carriage.

I think its pretty neat... after all if your the Queen - why not???? ... It looks like fairy tale carriage to me...all blinged out

[/img]

I guess when they made this they were thinking "more it better" kinda of thing!!

Humm... Wonder how many minis it would take to get that thing to move!!

 

[GREENWOODMINIS]

Shari...that is too funny..emmm, I think it would be kinda like cinderllas pumkin carriage with the litltle mice pulling it. Maybe the minis could ride in it -inside of pulling it???? I can just see all those little heads poking out of the windows

 

[Songcatcher]

I think I have to agree with Jane on this one.

Scratch the hocky part. Definately not hocky.

It kind of reminds me of Louis XIV who went in debt to build his gold castle while everyone was starving.

My husband wants to go to Scotland and England within the next two years. I would love to know where you went.

 

[runamuk]

I love the Louis stuff

ok truth be told I do NOT fly however I have a dream...to buy a castle somewhere over there and retire in it

most don't know this but I am a serious fair tale romantic

happily ever after and knights on white horses.....

 

[Sunny]

Oh! I remember that carriage! It was awesome!

I think tomorrow I'll be rooting around in the basement for all the postcards and stuff that my mom and I brought back all those years ago.

What a great thread! It's a nice stroll down memory lane for me.

I'm in the minority, or possibly the silent majority- I did not like Diana at all, a silly little girl who never grew up and hid behind her emotional problems. It could all have been avoided if the Queen had allowed Charles to marry Camilla right at the beginning- before either of them were married. The true fairy tale is that their love endured. I am glad Charles has been given a chance at happiness at last, and sorry that they had to go through all that they did just for the sake of protocol- look at the "rabble" the rest of the family has become, and Charles had to suffer it all because he's the heir!!

Hypocritical nonsense- the same "protocol" wrecked Princess Margaret's life, I though we had moved on since then!!
