Pink Saturday - November 5

Happy Pink Saturday. Thank you to Beverly of How Sweet the Sound for inviting all of us to link up and share the pink.

Queen Elizabeth recently spent 11 days in Australia. This day she was looking lovely in pink.

Love how the nursing staff choose the same colour!

Thanks for visiting. Have a great weekend.
