Cute Platinum Jubilee Mementos And Starting A Hanging Herb Garden...

Disclaimer:  I haven't been paid to recommend or promote any products, I just wanted to share my tiny collection of memorabilia from the recent platinum jubilee. Hope it makes you smile x

Hi Honeys, 

How are you today? All well I hope?  I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, both hubby and I have been ill for a few weeks now.  Some kind of cold/flu bug (with the worst, most annoying cough) that's going around.  I'm so grateful it's not covid (apparently) but it's so not fun honeys 😞

I feel like a large truck has run over me. Everything really hurts. Thing is though, I'm a terrible patient. I have no time for pity parties, and there are things I want to be getting done. An example of this is the first two weeks of this month.  Hubby booked time away from work, holiday time, and we had all these plans to get things done around the house.  Then, of course, we were both hit by this awful bug and not a thing was done through the holiday.  So frustrating. 

Those home projects will always be there though, I suppose.  I'm just hoping they won't have to wait another whole year is all 😊  Summer in Scotland is very fleeting.  Sometimes it barely appears at all. We do get (a lot) of very pretty rain though.  Lovely to look at through the kitchen windows while having a cuppa but not so great when your project for the day was to organise a little seating area on the patio. 

One of the pluses (if there is such a thing) to being stuck on the sofa hugging a hot water bottle (and our furbaby Jade 💗) was that I was able to watch all four days of the fabulous coverage of Her Majesty The Queen's platinum jubilee.  There was so much to see and watch!  Every year I look forward to trooping the colour and this year's was beyond perfect!  

Watching the beacons being lit was so beautiful and the concert was a lot of fun and had so many special guests.  I'll leave some links for you at the end of this post so you can see for yourselves dear ones, I can see why so much planning, over 18 months of work, had gone into it.  It was so worth it and a joy to watch 💖  

In spite of promising myself not to, I do seem to have collected (thanks to hubby and a dear friend, Sarah - thank you sweethearts xx) some Jubilee mementos and I thought I'd share 💖    

Adorable platinum jubilee mementos and starting a herb garden :-)

We really are trying to downsize the house honeys, as you know, so even though I was so excited about the Jubilee, I was equally determined not to collect too many souvenirs  - not even a biscuit tin 😊  So, before I share our little collection, why not go grab a cuppa (and maybe a cookie) and I'll meet you back here after the page break? See you in a few minutes honeys...
