The Queens Knickers Nicholas Allan

 No No this is no a blog post about the Queens under garments but one that is about the brilliant rib tickling book that is the  ' The Queens Knickers by Nicholas Allan  I was luck enough to win a signed copy of this . I love doing such things for where I work .





It's a busy year for the Queen - she has lots of important events to attend. Meanwhile, a little girl is wondering what knickers Her Majesty will choose to wear on a school visit! Will they be her 'at home' knickers - adorned with corgis - or her 'garden party' knickers, or perhaps her woolly Balmoral ones...?


It is a utterly charming book with a title that is bound to promote giggles , I look  forward with great pleasure to reading this to the Reception class that i work with. This will tie in very well with my school as we had our own Diamond Jubilee picnic just before half term with over 360 pupils and over 250 parents , grandparents carers etc. What a fabulous event to bring the community together , we ate too much played games and planted a tree. Its an event I shall always remember with great fondness and how brilliant for the pupils of the school where I  work.

Diamond Jubilee Party Royal knees up

The Diamond Jubilee is a perfect excuse for a right royal knees up. But there are a lot of preparation s to go with it though I am no Kirsty Allsop or Nigella Lawson I am willing to give it a go at hosting the prefect party which for me is all about having fun and creating memories which will last many generations to come. Last time it was the Silver Jubilee I was 4  *awwh factor* and when is was the golden Jubilee my own son was 3 . And now it is the Diamond Jubilee he is 13 , it was a time for a family get together. I was a rather worries about my party hosting skills and did I decorate enough or too much ! But as you will see from the pictures everyone had fun !

These photos were taken on the Saturday  then in true British tradition it rained on the Sunday so we had to have the party inside. The age range was from 6  years old to 86  ! so a true age spread it was wonder to create Jubilee memories for everyone.
Loads of Diamond Jubilee food.
