We had a Diamond Jubilee Party Arrangement Committee meeting the other night ( yes, our hamlet is like that

full of posh, organising folks with time on their hands). So far it looks as if we're having a village BBQ /wine & nibbles lunch party on the 4th June with monogrammed mugs for sale. Bring your own food, drink and crown.

I'm feeling a distinct lack of excitement about it, what's happening elsewhere? I guess everyone knows that Monday and Tuesday are Bank Holidays?

Beginning of June. I expect I'll celebrate by trying to get on top of the weeding, planting out courgettes and runner beans if I haven't already done so, side shooting the tomatoes and cleaning out chickens.

As a staunch republican I shall treat the event with the contempt it deserves.

Considering your location I don't imagine that'll be too hard

I thought Bois was a bit overharsh on our village event, myself.

Me too. But then I'm not a republican. Just looking at France is enough to put me off that system.

I've no idea what I'll be doing. What date is it anyway? Our district council have decided that Bideford is going to officially ignore the Olympic torch passing through in favour of celebrating the jubilee.
