We felt like having a small celebration last Friday and opted for tea in the park. Only I don’t drink tea – I don’t like it (I know, born in Britain and all! Shh…) – so usually it’s coffee for me. It was too hot for tea or coffee and too early for a glass of beer or wine. Limonata? Why, yes please! And a large pastry? Yes please again and thank you, a pastry would be just the thing since we’re celebrating.
What were you celebrating, OldPlaidCamper? I’m glad you asked. We are delighted for friends and family we care about still living in dear old Blighty because this happened:
Of course, not everyone will be happy, and there’ll be some strange and strangely selfish types clutching their pearls in performative horror because of the results. However, after 14 years of incompetence (and that’s being far too kind about the lying, greed, xenophobia, sleazy scandals, lazy populism and divisive rhetoric) it’s wonderful to see a positive change.
A brief post as we’re away this week feeding the mosquitoes. Thanks for reading and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Glad to see you were out celebrating and the pastry looks wonderful!! While my niece has been trying the different lemonade drinks at the coffee shops, I’m somehow staying with my hot coffee in this tropical weather. Hope you’re having better weather than us while enjoying a beer by the campfire and maybe by September I’ll be able to talk about Kane and football.🙂

Quite an upset in the UK and so wonderful. Definitely calls for a high tea celebration or limonata. Cheers, pc.

Thanks, Jet! Yup, sensible Starmer, thank goodness. The political world needs to be more boring or at least not personality driven – here’s hoping sanity prevails and November doesn’t produce anything too unpleasant for our southern friends and neighbours…
