A royal fete, and anticipated holiday

May 2023

The May 24th weekend has marked the birthday of Queen Victoria since 1845 (technically it falls on the Monday between the 18th and 24th – this year the 22nd). Here in NL it is an occasion of much expectancy and some lore. However you chose to celebrate, enjoy and be safe.
