STREET PARTY

Today is HM The Queen's Official 90th Birthday, and the day of Street Parties up and down the country. Probably.

Wilson was up much of the night making more fairy cakes as he and Byron had eaten all those he baked yesterday.


However, by a happy coincidence today is also National Gin Day, and he has plentiful supplies of that. 


I understand the Queen is partial to a gin or two (certainly her late sister and mother both were) so it's an entirely appropriate tipple for the party.


W told me that after a couple of Gin Cocktails no one would notice the lack of food, but I popped into Waitrose in the village and bought some extra snacks anyway — I don't want the little ones drinking too much with nothing to soak it up. 


Also Diesel the Goldfish is a bit of an unknown quantity once there's gin in his water...
