This year though I think it was finer in April than June. I'm glad you enjoyed your tea party as well as the football:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677036653941667811.post-88736106549362293692016-06-13T10:29:29.132-03:002016-06-13T10:29:29.132-03:00Hi Tracy, yes the celebrations of the Queen's ...Hi Tracy, yes the celebrations of the Queen's official birthday have traditionally been in June in the hope that the weather would be fine for the Trooping of the Colour, which was on Saturday.

And such a prettily decorated celebration. :) I've always wondered why, though the Queen's real birthday is in April, the office celebrating is in June... Finer days in June make for better street parties maybe?! Good luck while European championships are in play.... ;) Happy Days ((HUGS))Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179096002434748927noreply@blogger.com
