For the Queens Jubilee we are going to my local town to join in with the local festivities, the centre is being decorated as we speak and looks very kitsch. There is a picnic in the street at 11pm with a live band, market stalls, a parade, dancing, best dressed, window displays and ice cold cider. I bought two vintage picnic blankets from Oxfam and will fill my wicker basket with yummy things for us. I love the old school community spirit around here, they really go all out. In the summer all the villages have fairs, James Granddad even 'shows' his tractor collection (super cute) which i absolutely love. So different to what i have grown up with in Blackpool. I really love our heritage and am proud to be British so I cant wait to celebrate with a cup of tea and a scone (pronounced 'SCON' not 'SCONE')

What are your Jubilee plans?
Aw what lovely plans! My friends and I are thinking of having a tea party for the Jubilee, with cider too of course. I hope you enjoy your long weekend!
