Hello Lovelies!
So, did you watch the Jubilee Concert last night? We did and it was a jolly good show! Prince Charles gave a wonderful, touching speech at the end and then the Jubilee beacon was lit and a fabulous firework display ensued!

The Queen attended St Paul's Cathedral this morning for a Thanksgiving Service and later they will head back to the balcony at Buckingham Palace for the end of the celebrations.
Rain was forecast for today so whilst it was still vaguely bright we decided to head out for a brief walk and to feed the ducks.
We headed to our usual spot.
With our patriotic loaf!
The skies were heavy with rain but we managed to stay dry! Thank goodness!
Delicate flowers and beautiful yellow waterlilies!
Daddy and Little Miss
Pretty bridge over the River Wey
The Swans had seen us coming!

Little Miss loves throwing the bread in!
Aren't daisies such happy flowers? And I couldn't resist more cow parsley! :) Think I may have a bit of an obsession :)
Old bridge by the weir
An odd gate to nowhere :)
Pretty iron railings by the river
Hope you enjoyed coming along, sorry for the photo overload :)
I'll finish up with a spot of baking! Marshmallow Brownies. They don't look overly pretty but the taste delicious, warm from the oven with some ice cream too :)

Hi Victoria
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your continued comments, I do love reading them. Loving those beautiful bridge photo's and cow parsley pulls right at my heart strings. I would miss it dearly if I left the UK. Oh and the delicious brownies, well what can I say!!! xox happy week ahead for all of you x Penelope
Lovely photos, Victoria, good for you that you actually took the trouble to get out in the dodgy weather!
ReplyDeleteAfter a lukewarm start, we got quite into the celebrations (short of an actual street party!!) and enjoyed the concert. I felt so sorry for the choir that got soaked the day before. How very British!!
i loved all the celebrations! I loved when Prince charles called the Queen Mummy! so cute!!
ReplyDeleteI'm supposed to be packing to go to Yorkshire today to visit Gran with my sis..........
I watched the Jubilee Concert as well, I really enjoyed it, especially the 'Sing' song especially made for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee (I had that song stuck in my head all day yesterday).
ReplyDeleteReally lovely photo's, it looks like such a peaceful place to go for a walk..glad to hear you managed to miss the rain.
The marshmallow brownies sound really good..Yummy!!
