Vintage Jubilee Party,

We were lucky enough to join up with Ffynone House School in Swansea last week for their Vintage Jubilee tea party and sports day. It was fortunate that it was a beautiful sunny day to hold a tea party.

It was a packed event with students and parents as well as the local radio station. It was amazing to see that the whole school got involved, from all the staff to the parents too. Even the students on study leave came back to celebrate the Jubilee for the day.

 The visiting Radio team are cycling from Paris to Swansea this summer in aid of Maggie's. Ffynone School also support Maggie's Cancer Care. So it was a good joint effort to raise over £250 for this worthy cause. Check out the link to read more about them.

They are amazing:-)

Really cute Union Jack cup cakes.

 Also we were lucky enough to work with Watering Can Media on a cool time lapse photography project, which involved over 1600 photographs during the Jubilee party.

                                    

An awesome day with a beautiful school.

Hope you had a great Jubilee Weekend!

London, 11-11-11

We had a trip to London yesterday.

Quite a day.

Saw my lovely brother and sister.

It was a beautiful day but slightly emotional being on the 11th.

Really nice to get together and remember all those dear loved ones.

:(

It was a chilly autumn day with so many different activities and sounds going on compared to here by this quite seaside town.

Red poppies everywhere.

My red, white and black poppy skirt,

Sad, but it was little one's first trip (that he can remember)

 to the capital.

Love why he asked about all the beeping and honking!

I thought everything looked beautiful.

Cute Yellow bathroom signs in one of our favourite restaurants.

I didn't have any of these beautiful looking desserts.

Not sure why I just had rye toast?

Crazy.

In awe of the beautiful autumnal colours in Hyde Park.

Rustling of leaves.

Just trying my first video on my blog?

Pavilion.

Wow to the colour of this lovely tree at the Serpentine.
