Is anyone celebrating the jubilee - and if not how are you spending the holiday period?

I'm not that fussed about the Royals and not sure I'm pro-monarchy even but any excuse for a party I'm gonna do a tea and drinks on Friday. Is anyone else making any effort to celebrate? Or is it all a fuss about nothing? I'm even buying some pimms for me mam (don't
 think we have ever tried it)

I'm planning on going to a street party, but that's about it really I'm hoping the weather will be warm so that I can get some nice walks in.

Pimm's is lovely in my opinion, so enjoy!

thats interesting @woodbine
id love to hear more 


Ive never tasted pimms...whats it like. I have bought a special fruit mix to go with it, i think it be too sweet for me but im sure mum will love it

I hope you get to celebrate in some way !

@Tori_Scope

that sounds good, will it be a quiet affair or really lively in your area?

Have a great time!

Not sure whats going on locally but I will do a tea with tuna and cucumber sandwiches, scones etc

Mind you I've been having scones, butter jam and cream for a while now and don't want overkill ha ha x

Geegeenumber1

ah thank you very much

I heard you mixed with fruit and good job i got some lemonade coming this week as bought some archers and malibu for mum too

I only wish I could buzz out on alcohol these days - tastes alright but does nothing for me

Il let you know how my drink concoctions go!

Think I'm going to make a nice picnic with some homemade treats like quiche , sausage rolls , cheese and onion  bread rolls and nice strawberry and cream Victoria sponge 

Take it somewhere nice next to river or water or a nice park

Cream tea and then a couple of rum and cokes in the garden if the weathers nice. If it pours down then I’ll drink rum in the bath 😂. 

Geegeenumber1

ooooh fantastic ideas, il be doing a buffet too def some sausage rolls pate etc! but sadly they won't be homemade,  ha ha

Enjoy your rum whatever the weather!

I might suggest a bbq to family, pending on weather conditions

I`m very anti-monarchy, so I won`t be "celebrating" the jubilee.  I will, however, be celebrating the company of a friend who is coming over for a few beers

We're having a community party, but later than the Jubilee as one of my neighbours was recently elected as our new Town Mayor, & has a lot of functions to attend over the Jubilee period. We're also going to try & choose a day with decent weather!

Stuck at home on my own because my husband is in hospital

Do you think you'd enjoy watching any of the jubilee on television @marybottomley? It looks as though there's lots planned.

I hope everyone enjoys the weekend! I'm off to a friend's hen do which is happening at the same time, so we'll be celebrating, but not specifically the jubilee

Geegeenumber1

sorry to hear your husband is in hospital

Thank you

Pimm's is quite sweet, but I'm not sure how to describe the flavour other than that @Geegeenumber1! It's nice with some fresh mint as well as fruit, too. 

I'm not sure what it'll be like in my area to be honest. I imagine there'll be something going on. The street party I'm going to is in a different area, as my friend invited me
