mumto2 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Yes, but we live in the UK.:001_smile Yes, house is covered with bunting and a flag. Three days of picnics starting Sunday. Should be a lot of fun. Our village is having the picnics and other festivities. There are events all over the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Meh. Well make some Scotch Eggs and have done with it. DD the Elder wants Stargazy Pie, even though there's not even a remote royal link of which she's aware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsMommy Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 We are! I found some fun worksheets/puzzles/coloring pages online, and we're going to make crowns tomorrow. We did some "Jubilee math" yesterday, which was really interesting. I downloaded a book about Queen Elizabeth, too. I'll be making a few English dishes over the next few days, (I'm most looking forward to the trifle!), and we're having "tea" on Tuesday. Plus, I'm recording pretty much everything BBC America is showing between now and Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmoira Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I gotta ask-- what is Stargazy pie??The common element to all recipes is the sardine/pilchard heads sticking out of the crust. Sometimes the tails stick out as well. The rest of the pie is usually egg, milk potato and/or onion, maybe bacon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to be making Shepherd's Pie, possibly. Oh wait, it's ds and dd's marathon recital tonight - nevermind. Maybe we'll have some tea :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenmama2 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Lol, we are but it's completely child led. DD saw a commemorative magazine in a shop & had to have it. Then she noticed some documentaries online. The list goes on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mabelen Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Is BBC America the best place to watch the coverage? That's what we're doing. We will be having tea and cheese on crumpets for breakfast. We will try some Jubilee fun activities for the girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmilyK Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Wasn't it amazing to see the London Philharmonic choir singing while dripping wet? And pretty impressed that the Queen and Prince Philip were standing that whole time. They're in very good shape for their age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
