hehehehe...that was taken at Royal Ascot!!! Royal Ascot is in June, but I had been trying to convince Neil to go with me from some 9 months in advance. It's a week long, but I wanted to go to the famous "Ladies' Day". However, those tickets sell out right away in January. Even though I said I would pay for the whole thing, he was reluctant.
He kept "arguing" with me saying that if I want to see horseraces, he could take me to other races that would be much more interesting. Of course, he's a bloke and he just couldn't grasp the concept that I didn't want to go for the horseracing - I wanted to wear a big hat, see him in a morning suit and see the Queen of England because "it's the English thing to do".
Eventually, after a few months, he realized what I was talking about.
So, without my knowledge, he went and bought the tickets, made arrangements for the whole day and, when we got there, got me a prime spot at the center railing for when the Queen went past in her carriage.
What a sweetheart.

FYI - Depending on where your seats are, there is a mandatory dress code. We were in the seats which required formal "morning attire".
