be jubilant.



Hope everybody has been having a great Jubilee weekend! Mine mostly consisted of making yummy treats like scones, cupcakes and cucumber sandwiches, having a tea party (replace the tea with lots of alcohol) and as a result, sleeping all day.. 

I love how jolly everywhere looks at the moment - flags everywhere, lots of fun things going on. There may be a lot of shit going on in this country/life, but sometimes it's alright really. I like a good excuse to have a party.

We're ending our Jubilee weekend at my Granny's tomorrow, with my brother, sister-in-law and my beautiful niece, Evelyn. Apparenly it's going to rain, but it'll be lovely all the same.

I reckon you make the best looking and tasting cakes ever. You're probably better than Mr Kipling and I haven't even tasted them yet!

Ahhh, this all looks so beautiful. First time I've felt homesick in a really long time, very jealous of everyone in Britain at the moment experiencing the amazing atmosphere!
