Geo-Trips :: Geograph- The Carolean Era begins
Berkshire
A drive from Pangbourne, Sat, 10 Sep 2022 by Basher Eyre
| preceding leg | This trip is part of a series. |
What a week for the UK On Tuesday I was out Geographing, during which I had the radio on. Boris Johnson went up to Balmoral to resign as Prime Minister, shortly followed by Liz Truss to be sworn in as the new PM. The resulting photograph will go down in history as the last image of one of the most photographed women in history, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Two days later The Queen died. At that moment Prince Charles becomes the sovereign. However, the formal ratification came on Saturday. Again, I was out Geographing and heard the proclamation for Charles III. I have now finished the Berkshire Pevsner, my fifth after Hampshire, Sussex, Surrey and Dorset. I am about halfway through what will be my last, Wiltshire.
