Hello there! Today I have a quick overview of the recent Diamond Jubilee celebrations. We hung around in our village where there was a number of functions going on...we didn't venture into London...the crowds were too large and the weather too lousy!
We had two celebrations in our village hall..the first was a supper...
with enough food to feed Britain...
with lots of healthy options...summer fruits are very good for you...
Whilst Liz kept an eye on things...
Two days later I was back in the hall again for the W.I. afternoon tea..
We had great fun decorating with more red, white and blue...
We even had a memorabilia table...
and of course more food...
It was a big weekend of eating, drinking and toasting the Queen...and I may have put on a kilo!
Oh, and I can't go without showing you the lovely, tacky, plastic bunting dangling from our front window...all of 79 pence worth!!

Your village dos looked great.started to watch the concert but it was not my thing and I did not knowthe artists. I did watch a repay thenext day. Now for Wimbledon and the Olympics. Love Alice XXXX
ReplyDeleteHi Robynne, don't you just love the eccentricity of it all...I do! You shouldn't have said anything about your tacky bunting, it looks perfectly fine in your picture. Many thanks for your visit and great comments. It is extremely hard to be selective when there is such a selection of goodies to tempt us, but as you say you can always open a shop. Lovely to hear from you, love Linda x
ReplyDeleteWasn't the Jubilee brilliant fun!!? We had such a good street party but I love the look of your village-y celebrations (bunting included!!).
ReplyDeleteYou've been rather quiet of late....is everything ok?
