Darwin's Queen Mother

I remember John Spellman - The Wine Bar, right? (my parents haunt, that was).

But The Queen Mother was my fave. I'll never forget the morning he rolled up in my parents driveway in some convertible, at 6am, wearing a royal red 'robe' and carrying a sceptre, calling out to me to, 'Wakey, Wakey, my dear girl! It's Regatta Day!"

My dad woke up spitting chips until he saw who it was, then he was all hypocritical smiles and gushes.

I wonder if the Queen Mum's still around?
