She is such a sweetheart ...Awwww.....bless you mum! She is such a sweetheart and your home probably looked the most attractive one on the street with all the beautiful bunting! You should do an outfit post with those two lovely dresses...would look gorgeous in the sunshine especially as its wedding season. I must say a big "Well done" for dressing up during the royal jubilee! I must admit I was too lazy to dress up, as I was sat in front of the telly watching the procession in my pjs all day. Also I do like a spam sandwich....something I often think the younger generation are unlikely to get to know....and cake is essential of course during a royal celebration! <br />May xxWalking In Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11830965675395012690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863795088574059616.post-62963287380343172042012-06-17T09:30:38.919+01:002012-06-17T09:30:38.919+01:00Thank you!!
