Preparing for the Queen



The Queen of England is celebrating 60 years on the throne next month, so I think our "Jane Austen Book Club" will need to help celebrate her Diamond Jubilee. (Great hat by the way.) Our meeting is next Tuesday, and we are discussing an English "shocker" called "The Thirty-Nine Steps" which is fun all by itself. In preparation, I bought some Union Jack paper plates at the "Brits" store in Lawrence.
Megan said she would help me figure out a craft -- we like this embroidered crown but will look more on Pinterest. I'm still in a dilemma about what to bake for treats. Perhaps some apricot-brandy bread, filled with English black walnuts to tie in with the "Blackstone" conspirators. Probably shortbread cookies. PG Tips tea, of course.
