Jubilee Weekend

The Jubilee weekend is coming up, and I've lots of food-related tasks to do!

My good friend Scott will celebrate his 30th birthday up in Leeds on Saturday. I'll be helping to put on a fantastic spread at the church space he's booked for his party. Being a good Yorkshire boy he's also requested a tea-loaf instead of a traditional birthday cake - so I'll have to bake up something special!
The next day I'll be back down to London - with a picnic in my trolley - to meet my friends the Faeries down on the river, for the Jubilee Pageant. The weather looks like it might be less than ideal (this is becoming the running theme for this summer, and for my blog!) but I'll bring a travelling picnic anyway. At the end of the day, what could be more British than standing in the pouring rain, waving a little plastic flag, with a cream-cake in one hand and a glass of Pimms in the other??

To top it all off, I plan to wear my 1950's housewife's dress. If that sounds strange, perhaps you should read a little more about the Albion Faeries...

Don't forget that The Big Lunch also comes to Telegraph Hill on Sunday, 3rd June. If you're not down by the river, it's a great chance to meet local people and enjoy a festive, party atmosphere - all fuelled by good home-made food! It will be all afternoon, out on Kitto Road outside St Catherine's Church, Telegraph Hill.
