It's Labour Day Monday, which is an annual holiday to celebrate the achievements of workers.  A special cheer to all those deemed as essential workers during this pandemic.

It's also the day Queen Elizabeth I was born in 1533.

I believe it's a day of celebration & one that requires cake!

    1. I believe this year cake is a good replacement for all those Labour parades being cancelled. (wink wink).

    1. There's a website that tells you what day we are celebrating everyday - sometimes there are several reasons to celebrate, so cake is the answer to this. (col).

    1. If I look there's someone's birthday we should be celebrating most days - hence why I am getting all these emails from Noom & WW!

    1. I believe you are in a round about way trying to recruit me to Slimmering World - lol. I have only 2 more reasons this month for cake; Mr Man's ignored birthday & then Bilbo & Frodo's birthday on the 22nd.

  6. Well, I never knew that about Queen Elizabeth - thank-you! And yes, essential workers deserve our gratitude and a pay rise.

    1. Maybe if our politicians accepted applause as their pay rise, they might just get it.

  7. Gorgeous portrait of Queen Elizabeth. I am currently reading Hilary Mantel's book "The Mirror and the Light" about Henry VIII and Thomas Cromwell, so Elizabeth features in it briefly.

    1. Anne Boleyn & Elizabeth I are two of my most favourite historical persons. I read The Mirror & the Light - it was good but a long read. I barely finished the 3rd in the series - it took me a long time to read all 3.

    1. There will be more reasons this week for cake as Mr Man ignores his birthday ... but I don't!

    1. I am of the mind, I'll celebrate anyone's birthday if there's cake.
