At Work for the Jubilee

I don't think I've made so much coffee in my life.

Yesterday I worked at my cafe, Violet, participating in the Wilton Way Street Party celebrating Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee. While I didn't see much of the street from my station behind our La Spaziale espresso machine, the atmosphere in the cafe was festive and we were busy!

I spent today recovering and decided to take a stroll around Regent Park's Rose Garden. And, of course, I found the rose named Diamond Jubilee. Only fitting.

Some images of Violet's cupcake decorations, homemade bunting and the Diamond Jubilee Rose to send you off.
