The Travelling Monkeys Thank The Queenk
Queen to nobody


Who was The Queen to nobody
A nobody like me?
I never met her in real life
Just saw her on TV
Too young to get a telegram
Our paths never to cross
But though we knew each other not
I feel so deep her loss
Like most, for my entire life
A constant presence, there
Our symbol for the world to see
She ruled with grace and care
Quintessentially British
Celebrated with pride
Queen Elizabeth the Second
Our ever constant guide
A force for good for all the world
Much did she see and do
Long did you reign, Your Majesty
For all your time, thank you
There will never be another
Like you were on the throne
We wish you Godspeed to Philip
Together not alone
Forever in your Nation’s heart
Right where you’ve always been
You’ll be remembered for all time
God rest our gracious Queen.

It’ll be lonely this Christmas

Christmas this year will be a very strange one. Getting together with loved ones not in the immediate household was out of the question for anyone with any sense. We made the most of being in and safe and look forward to better times.

Uti and Upsi tried to help by stirring good luck into the Christmas cake.

As usual, Braydy is planning our TV viewing over the festive period – what would we do without the television, especially now?!

Uti had a mince pie ready for Santa and a carrot for his reindeer. We hope his magic kept him covid safe.

They’re coming to take us away

We’re still trapped in the house, what with Coronavirus going mad outside, while we grow ever more stir crazy inside. At the moment, we’re having to be Travelling Monkeys that don’t travel. We’ve decided to stave off the insanity by treating ourselves every now and then by having cheeky food and milkshakes delivered to the door from various places. No prizes for guessing where some of it comes from. Apologies to the fish and chip shop where Rudi got his sausage and patties…

Jimmy is making the most of his Christmas present doing security wherever it is needed. Eddy keeps acquiring things.

Most people find the likeness of God or Jesus, for example, in everyday objects – not our Rudi…

Chilli dogs and milkshakes are the order of the day. Moody has a day out and has lunch at Trenchers, the most delicious of fish & chip restaurants.

Burny celebrates his birthday with a special cake and there are some extra special Monkey Rescues as the year goes on.
