Royal wedding count down.

Only in England would you see many camped out already to see the Royal wedding. Many have camped out for the Harrods sales but to see our future King and Queen get married what a show. I remember well the day Princess Diane and Prince Charles got married, watching her go down the aisle and then her life was never the same again. I guess many of us can say that.

Many Brits will celebrate this wedding in Pubs decorated with bunting and ribbons, street parties and such.


Here below is some useful information:

BBC America will be showing the Royal without yes no breaks so if you are lucky enough to get that channel I suggest you tune.

Children in the Uk will have no school yeah lets make it world wide.

1,900 guests at Westminster Abbey: 1,000 will be friends and family; 50 will be members of the Royal family but not Sarah Ferguson; 40 foreign royals; 200 members of Parliament, Government, and diplomatic corps; 80 charity workers and beneficiaries; 30 senior defense officials; 60 Governors-General and Common-wealth prime minister.


Ellen Degeneres: With friends and hangers-on vying for an invite to what's to be sure the wedding of the year, the beloved talk show queen has a legitimate claim for an invitation: She's related to Kate Middleton! Sure, they are distant cousins – 15th! – but family is family, so says The New England Historic Genealogical Society, who traced their ties.


Snoop Dog is expected to perform at the stag party that Prince Harry will likely host.

Kate will spend her last four nights of freedom at the five-star Goring Hotel.

CNN sent 400 news reporters while Japan sent only 50 to the royal wedding.

Well, my advice is to get the kettle on and enjoy the show.


Wishing you lots of Tasty English Delights.

And as we Brits say,"There is always room for one more."

Royal wedding funnies


As the Royal wedding approaches I could not help but have a laugh or two at T-mobiles advert that my friend from England sent me. This is true British humor at it's best. So without further do have a dance or two and a cup of tea on us Brits as you get to see how British people like to have a joke or two. Go to this link and share in Kate and William's house of love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kav0FEhtLug




From stamps, coins, to refridgerators and cups, we Brits like to celebrate the royals. Making sure that the couples stay together, they are both on one side of the refridgerator door never to be parted. Then Americans take it up a notch by their royal pizza (I wonder if this will be served to the royal guests this Friday. Put in your order.)

Wishing you lots of Tasty English Delights.

Easter blessings 2011

Today is Easter and in England I would be enjoying an English roast, instead I am of to a friends house. Today as we take a few moments to remember Christ raising from the dead I encourage you to help other people. There are many lonely people who would love some kindness make a cake, go for a walk, draw a picture do something to bless a person going through a trial.
You will find so much blessing in that.
From my home to yours and you Happy Easter.

Wishing you lots of Tasty English Delights



There's always room for one more so come along.

Victoria Sponge oops cake.

Ok for the records when making a victoria sponge cake watch the temperature. I cooked 2 for mothers day both burnt and did not cook in the middle. Ouch. But even in the making of a cake we barely ate I had a laugh and enjoyed the time with my daughter.
So as spring goes up and down with it's temperatures take the time to laugh a bit, try new recipes and try new things.

You might find something new that you can do and enjoy.

Wishing you lots of Tasty English Delights

Arty Diaries

As spring and summer approaches, my mum is going to start reading The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady by Edith Holden. While looking at the cover, you will see how the artist captured the country in one little picture. But like an artist, the lady could not just stop with one picture and so has many beautiful drawings throughout the book. So if you are a little bored or have some extra time, start drawing or journaling. You will be amazing by how much you will have discovered about the beautiful world God has given us. So pick up a pencil and paper. Who knows, maybe your journal could be a published work of art one day. Wishing you lots of tasty English Delights. Emily

Spring is Spring because?

Today the weather here has changed drastically from 80's to 40's and then on Sunday's in the 30's. As England changes their clocks forward tonight I have to ponder why is Spring called Spring. I know there are all reasons and answers however I love the one that was given to me today. Spring is called spring because it springs back and forth from hot to cold. I love that answer. How fun to make flowers on pipe cleaners and twirl the pipe cleaners around like they are a spring or put butterflies or baby lambs and ducks on them anything that you can think of is like spring, they can bounce around just like the weather.
So as you think the weather is warming up be prepared for some springing along the way at least if you jump around like a spring it will keep you warm.

Wishing you lots of Tasty English delights.
