JUBILEE WEEKEND

As Henry Holland's TWENTY FIVE POUND tea towel says...I'm pretty excited about the impending Jubilee celebrations.

London is looking amazing with bunting everywhere and tomorrow when the flotilla goes down the Thames I'm sure the throngs of people will cancel out the need for sun (a good thing really, as it's forecast to rain the entire time). 

I've been buying Royal tat like it's going out of fashion. I'll post with more detail later...but this jumper from Joy is probably my fave. I've been cooking up a storm so I'm not sure my nails are up for it but I might even try and bust out the Union Jack nail art too.

A TRADITIONAL WEEKEND

Last Saturday it was the village fete in the village my parents live in and my Dad's birthday. I wasn't quite as helpful as I could have been on the bric a brac stall - I spent most of the day mooning over the lovely dogs at the regional dog show, one of the main attractions of the day (as far as I'm concerned). That and the cake stall. And the tombola. Why am I so drawn to a stall where I can spend £1 for 5 tickets only to win a can of sweetcorn I could have bought for 42p? That's one fucked up British upbringing right there.

Oh, and most importantly? It didn't rain.

Billy the Christmas Dog

This is the dog I spend all day with at work. I know...I am so lucky it's untrue. He is this cute all the time. My phone photo album is about 70% dog now because of this little one.
