Royal Wedding Celebrations

I know..I know. It was ages ago. But I am trying to catch up on my blogging aren't I?!

Mary and I watched the Royal Wedding, although Mary did a lot of playing in her room and getting in front of the TV whilst I was trying to see the frocks, and letting off a party popper at a solemn moment in the proceedings.

But we did have rather a lovely lunch on our Royal Wedding paper plates. Cucumber sandwiches and a slice of Victoria sponge of course.



Mary wanted to make them and I found out it was because she had planned a lovely surprise but decorating the plates with a handmade Union Jack and the bits from a party popper (she did get through quite a lot that day).

When her daddy got home from work (because his bosses seemed to think it was a good idea to open the book shop all day), we had scones with jam and cream.


Oh yes the wedding was lovely and having been in a similar situation a week before, made me appreciate it it a bit more. The Duchess of Cambridge (as is) looked so beautiful. Goodness, doesn't it seem a long time ago now though.

It is Tea Time

Have you ever been taken aback by the sheer genius of someone? Well, I have just recently.

Sit down make yourself a nice pot if tea and have a lovely cake. Because I would like to introduce you to a fellow seller on
etsy and folksy, the wonderful genius that is British Cream Tea.
British Cream Tea is a talented crafts person who makes the most wonderful and stunningly realistic felt sculptures. They are so realistic that every time I look at her shop, I salivate!

My poor partner has to put up with me gasping – ‘and she has made this, look, look!’ every few seconds.

When I get some me money I am going to buy myself a stick of rock with Southsea running though it, and maybe one day a whole plate full of cream cakes.

The most recent cake is this cream slice. Isn’t it fantastic? The crisp pastry is just waiting to be bit into, and the cream ooze out.
So go one, visit British Cream Tea at her folksy or etsy shop, you will not be disappointed.
