Jubilations...

   

Now the holiday is nearly over Im catching my breath after the nonstop fun I want to ask the big question...

What did you do to celebrate?

We had a bunting festooned dinner..


I made a lot, and I mean a lot of cupcakes for street parties...The red and white ones were already in the car when I took this!



Oh and I got a bit tipsy at our village talent show and sang 'how much is that doggy in the window' backwards - no photos of that one thank goodness...there are some talents that are clearly best kept hidden!

  1. Aw it sounds like you had a brilliant time! I got a wee bit sad watching all the celebrations on the tv, made me miss the uk!

  2. It looks as though you had a marvellous time; just as well you had cooked plenty, with that hungry lot calling in!
    Are you sure it isn't up on You Tube yet? ;)

  3. Those cupcakes are gorgeous. I bet they looked fantastic when they were all plated up together. As a Music teacher I am very intrigued by the idea of singing a song backwards....! Jx

  4. Glittery cakes! We watched all the coverage, waved flags in my mum's sitting room and enjoyed being together for four whole days :-)

  5. Hi Laura - I wouldn't feel too homesick it's raining here now and our bunting all came down today- but it was great while it lasted!

    Hi Elaine, I know - those royals can certainly eat! There was nothing left for the corgis! As for YouTube I daren't look- ignorance is bliss is my motto on that one!

    Hi Jan - I'm ashamed to say I learnt it when I was at school and it's stayed with me ever since - education eh! All I'll say is that my backing singer joined in with the occasional 'foow foow!'

    Hi Dotty - how did we ever live without edible glitter! Your jubilee sounds lovely, wasn't it great having the extended bank holiday :)

  6. Well, much as I enjoyed our street party and other festivities I'm now seriously upset that I missed hearing 'wodniw eht ni yggod taht si hcum woh'. I think I'll check out YouTube just in case it's there.

  7. Jealous! We need to have some sort of Jubilee-style celebration in Ireland with street parties and cake! I'm seriously considering inventing a holiday.

  9. It was a classic English rib of beef for me with cakes to follow. Lovely to see so many people making such an effort!

  10. I watched the festivities from the other side of the pond. It was a wonderful spectacle and I'm sure you had a great time at your street party. Wish we had that picture of you singing. Have a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary

    Hi Amy - I think inventing a new holidays a great idea - what do you suggest?

    Hi bellini - your so right - now the jubillees packed away we're getting ready for the Olympic torch - more reasons to be cheerful!

    Hi CC - rib of beef sounds gorgeous - Yorkshire puddings too I hope!

    Hi Mary - we did have a great time but I'm really quite pleased that no photos have surfaced - the paparazzi were kept at bay!
