So blessed I got to celebrate a bit of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee today =)

Got to indulge in some Eton Mess [woot! - see above] and sticky-toffee-pudding and other British delectables. 

I've decided desserts are Brit's strong suit and I loooved having some favorites from last summer [the first time I had Eton Mess was at The Eagle and Child =] as well as trying some new ones.

Grateful for enthusiastic friends, especially Mr. + Mrs. Andrew White, and for connections across continents.

Celebrating 60 incredible years (the equivalent of 12 US presidents) and hoping for many more years--along with more weddings and great-grandchildren ;)


God Save the Queen!!!
