on board: Hopper stylee

it's that time of year, and this is a 20 year anniversary.  
i have been thinking about her today so will not wait for the actual date.

i remember being woken around 6 am by Daisy, telling me that Diana had died.  
we left Lulworth later that day to lay some home grown flowers at Kensington Palace.  i’m not really sure why i thought it was important, but it was.
Diana became an icon for those times.  I would never have guessed it from our school days (i was her house captain), but she had a vulnerability that made the royal family more accessible.  

i hope her sons follow in their grandmother’s and mother’s footsteps.  
i feel sure they will.
