It's been Jubilee-tastic in our house this week. We began with a slightly un-patriotic pirate school disco on Tuesday, at which Rob and I were helpers. Aside from shouting "Arrrrggghhh!!!" intermittently, we cooked and gave out hotdogs and drinks and judged dancing contests.
By Friday, Jubilee fever had reached well, er, fever pitch. The girls were allowed to go to school dressed in red, white and blue (see above) and I set to, alongwith a bunch of other mums, making a shedload of sandwiches- spam (shocking) corned beef (really?) and coronation chicken (champion) as well as icing 300 cupcakes in red, white and blue.
On Saturday we spent a lazy afternoon in the garden of a pub in Winchelsea with two other families. So lazy I forgot to take any pics. Needless to say the kids had a ball, as did the grown ups, before being poured back onto the train in time for the final of The Voice.
We spent most (all?) of Sunday in our Pjs, preparing for and then watching the Diamond Jubilee Thames regatta. It could not have rained more and we couldn't help commenting on how different things would have been if we had been able to replicate last weekend's amazing hot weather. We spent this afternoon at Maggie and Popi's Jubilee party, meeting great people and eating wonderful poached salmon, pork pies, eEon mess and more. Brilliant. xx
