Description
Long ago life was cleanSex was bad and obscene
And the rich were so mean
Stately homes for the lords
Croquet lawns, village greens
Victoria was my queen
Victoria, victoria, victoria, toria
(the kinks...victoria)

The Kinks playing 'Victoria' Providence RI. USA 1979. The British press vilified Ray Davies for what they saw as a racist rabble rousing anthem. I think some idiots were mistaking racism for national pride.
Just looks so musty typically Engish morning room, aspidistra in huge porcelaine jug, tea in china cups with cucumber sandwiches, croquet on the lawn and cricket on a hot afternoon.

You know, as soon as I read this I had to smile, because it is 6.40am and it is bloody gorgeous out there. I am watching mum's and day old chicks paddling around outside.
Thanks for the faves, Debs.
