Today was spent celebrating the Queens Diamond Jubilee by having a couple of friends over to raise a glass of bubbles and toast the health of Queen Elizabeth.
Cucumber and smoked salmon sandwiches, cake and chocolates. Even the precious Royal Albert tea set was hauled out in honour.
Experienced an almost catastrophe when the pineapple upside down cake split when I turned it out. Desperate measures call for what I affectionately call a cake girdle ie. whack a piece of ribbon around the cake and hope for the best.
Here's A-M, yours truly and Faux Fuchsia getting into the good stuff. Darling daughter took the pic.
The pooch is never far from the action.
A lovely day and isn't it nice to celebrate a happy occasion. Now if only I could throw myself on the sofa and the butler bring me a G & T!
