Seems like a pleasant enough way to wake up! Better than the cat meowing in your face to be let outside.

The post was established in 1843, when Queen Victoria reigned. She first heard bagpipe music in 1842 when she and Prince Albert first visited the Highlands.
Portrayed on the current series Victoria on PBS free at the PBS web site. This was two episodes ago. Interesting british production (aren’t they all?).

The author is just jealous that he is not woken up every morning by “The Sovereign” being played by bagpipes.

A slight knocking at the door from the butler would suffice for me.

😊 not on purpose. We used to have our youth group stay over at our house. My husband woke them by cranking up the bagpipe CDs.

Wondering if they play Amazing Grace to see if she died in her sleep and when she wakes up and yells at them I’M NOT DEAD YET!
