Our Very Own Knitted Queen……

Let’s just say that after a full on week of Eurovision, we were all feeling a little flat and lack lustre this morning …….. and then, what happens? We find ourselves once more propelled, headlong, into more raw and unbridled emotion of a very different nature ……..

…… when we received a most wonderous and totally out of the blue type parcel from our beloved follower Paula …….

…… which contained, would you believe, our very own knitted Queen, a guest of honour at our small jubilee celebration tea in a few weeks time. Let’s just say even more tears were shed after an already emotional weekend.

Paula is sooooooo unbelievably clever.  All we could do was ooooooo and ahhhhhhh at all the details she’d  put in, from the flowers and feathers on Her Majesty’s hat, to her pearls, earrings and handbag.

She is quite, quite perfect.  What more can we say, but we simply adore her ……

….. and Nigel in particular is absolutely infatuated with her.

And, there was more, a mug for mum and a box of Marmite flatbreads, so unbelievably thoughtful, as they are indeed our flatbread of choice and will be perfect to swoop and scoop our selection of dips for our Platinum Jubilee Afternoon Tea,

We are so lucky to have so such wonderful friends and followers who obviously know us sooooooo well.

Oh wow she is fabulous! Well done Paula you are indeed very talented, Her Majesty will definitely be guest of honour at the monkeys Jubilee celebrations!
We have a teeny tiny balcony on our second floor seaside apartment and we’ve gone mad and ordered a life size cutout of Her Majesty so she can look down on the assembled throng in the communal gardens when we have our party!
