Jubilee…

…..preparations are beginning to take shape in our little seaside town. Stands of red, white and blue merchandise are beginning to appear proudly in shop doorways with flags, bunting and paper napkins aplenty. The cookshop will be displaying their wares soon and I’ve had a sneak preview – little dogs of a particular breed will be prominent in that shop. Even the antique shop has afternoon tea happening in the window. The finalists for the great Jubilee pudding competition have been announced with the inevitable trifle looking like a strong contender. I liked the sound of the lemon swiss roll too, whilst all of them had chosen their ingredients well . We’ll have to wait and see if the winner will figure in our plans. Having hoped for a street party we’ve been thwarted by the fact our road is not a cul-de-sac and can’t be closed, so we may finish up in the biggest front garden, or opening our gate to accomodate all the tables and chairs. Hmm, not sure how we’ll do it, but it will be fun… as long as rain holds off!
