Here are some snaps of Princess Phoebe during her recent royal tour of Canada. All images were taken from her mummy's Instagram page. The fellow in the second picture is Richard from Sheffield who is now working as a construction manager on a big project in Toronto. He used to be our paper boy! The fellow in the third picture is Stewart - Phoebe's daddy.
Decisions, decisions...
Toronto
Princess Phoebe sends greetings to her loyal subjects in Blogland and those who reside in her Canadian colony. She is currently watching the proceedings at the COP26 conference in Glasgow with great interest as meaningful decision making or lack of decision making there will impact greatly on her life and the lives of her children and grandchildren
Uh oh. Cuteness alert.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweetheart (no, not you YP).
For a brief moment my ego was boosted and then cruelly punctured.
DeleteShe's more travelled than I am.
ReplyDeleteShe has even been to Iceland...the supermarket I mean.
DeleteOne day Phoebe will read about COP26.
ReplyDeleteI hope it's not, 'Glasgow was the world's last chance, and now it's too late.'
My heart goes out to all the caring people who have travelled to get here.
Near to my home, police numbers are higher than anyone imagined, with major roads closed to traffic and pedestrians. I see helicopters above the River Clyde.
All that matters is that COP26 succeeds, Neil.
Wonderful photos !

Maybe the helicopters are looking for you on behalf of The Ministry of Truth.
DeleteIf I had known that protesters could not find accommodation I would have let them have my two spare bedrooms for nothing.
DeleteI am disgusted that hoteliers and Airbnb people ratcheted up their prices.
The kindness of strangers is everything as Tennessee Williams wrote.
Greta Thunberg spoke movingly in a park in Govan; so did Xiye Bastida, the indigenous climate activist; and I am delighted Rainbow Warrior berthed in the Clyde, near where the Last Chance Conference is being held.
From what I can quickly analyse, President Biden promised a hard-headed and far-reaching programme of change, which will only inflame Tucker Curly on Fox's Not The News. *Comment is free, but facts are sacred,* as C.P. Scott wrote so long ago in The Manchester Guardian. Fox will never understand that.
President Biden's New Deal is as visionary as FDR's, but will it be met, and is it enough? His powerful neocon enemies back home are threatening sedition even now. Roosevelt had his haters too.
A handful of the indigenous people, as well as some of those caring kids, should have been invited into COP26, as well as to the big bash in the Art Galleries with Prince Charles.
It would have been a classy thing to do.
To have invited the protesters inside, where the people of power decide whether Phoebe will have a Tomorrow.

How quickly do they grow. Phoebe is looking lovely.
ReplyDeleteAnd we are nine months older too!
DeleteLovely to see the whole family in front of the Toronto skyline. Princess Phoebe is a perfect Yorkshire ambassador to Canada. What a cutie!
ReplyDeleteI believe they were on an island in Lake Ontario. They enjoyed their time in Toronto.
DeleteIt's amazing how fast these kids grow up. No wonder they say enjoy them while it lasts.
ReplyDeleteAnd we keep "growing up" too. All of us are nine months older since Phoebe was born.
DeleteThe Princess is such a beautiful child. I love the photo of her reclining on the dock. Lets hope her, and all of our little princes and princesses, future is bright.
ReplyDeleteCOP26 owes it to them.
DeleteThat little girl always looks so happy! What a little sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteShe really is. If she cries - which is rare - there is always an obvious reason.
DeleteThat is a happy child. My son took my grand daughter to the playground. She wanted to swing in the baby swings. She is a little larger than a baby these days, but my son obliged. He pushed the swing until she decided she was done, and then he tried to maneuver her out. She got stuck a little bit. She sighed and said, "If you don't get me out, you'll have to go home alone, and then you'll have to tell mama what you did."
ReplyDeleteHa-ha-ha! Who's in control there?
DeleteHer Royal smile and wave are well-practised by now, it looks as effortless as only a real princess can do it!
ReplyDeleteIt seems she is happy with her entourage. They must be looking after her very well.
They follow her instructions to the letter.
DeleteLovely photos YP., thank you. In the second one she suddenly looks so grown up. What happy memories to treasure and tell her about when she's older.
ReplyDeleteShe remains a delightful baby Carol but a big one too!
DeleteI can't get over how much she's grown. She's such a cutie.
ReplyDeleteThank you. She proves that babyhood doesn't last long.
DeleteClearly, Ms Phoebe was looking for Yorkshire Pudding on the menu.
ReplyDeleteShe is such a delightful child. Well-loved.
You are very right Mary. Little did she know that Yorkshire Pudding was back in Sheffield tapping away on this keyboard!
DeleteWhat a happy wee face, just full of the joys of babyhood!
ReplyDeleteSunshine in a pandemic.
Deleteshe is pure delight to look at :)))
ReplyDeletethank you for making my day !
blessings!
It's kind of you to say that Balli.
DeletePhoebe may be the happiest baby in the world. She is well-loved and knows it.
ReplyDeleteShe rarely cries but if she does it is easy to see the reason why and deal with it. She doesn't like having her face washed.
DeleteShe has a lot of sparkle to her! And such a cute smile.
ReplyDeleteNice of you to say so Margaret and I agree!
