However, I think I am mellowing and becoming more of a Royalist with age! Last year, I loved watching the Royal Wedding and entered into the spirit of it by knitting William and Kate dolls! I joined the crowds in Leicester in March and caught a glimpse of the Royal party leaving the Cathedral. And now we have the build up to the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and I'm getting excited. I've been making lots of bunting to decorate my house and garden. My Jubilee themed egg cosies, bunting and vintage cake stands are on sale at The Rainbow Tree. I've just ordered some Jubilee cake toppers to adorn my home made cupcakes (in Union Jack cake cases of course!). And I'm planning my vintage Jubilee outfit - with a navy polka dot dress I found at Gold Rush vintage earlier in the year! I'm still deciding whether to hop on the train to the capital on Sunday as there's a brilliant vintage event at Battersea Park and Morsbags are joining in with the Big Lunch at Greenwich - will see how this week goes.
I will be working at Whetstone Pastures Farm on Jubilee Tuesday when we'll have a fantastic Tea Party - high tea in the courtyard, home made cakes and scones, lashings of jam, strawberries and cream, a real street party atmosphere and the SLUGS ukulele group live on stage! Why not join us?
