Where is summer?

You wouldn't believe we are now into June.  After a heatwave a week or so ago we have now got wet, damp rainy, cold weather.  I suppose we ought not to be surprised as we have a 4 day 'weekend to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee .  I feel so sorry for the people who have organised all the Jubilee events as the weather really is dire here at the moment - cold and wet.  The big thing for today is the River Pageant on the Thames.  Hundreds of boats (big boats, little boats and everything in between including rowing boats ) sailing from Battersea down to Tower Bridge. Should be a sight to behold even with the rain.  I have got into the spirit of the Jubilee a little.  Hung some bunting outside and made Jubilee brooches and badges for family members. and friends. We will be watching the pageant on TV but tomorrow we will probably go to my son's house in Higham Ferrers as they have a Jubilee picnic. Being British we will brave wind and rain to make sure we 'enjoy' ourselves and get into the Jubilee  spirit.  Hopefully will get some pictures tomorrow.

These are the brooches and bunting I have made.
