What a fantastic start to the Jubbly Bubbly party, her royalness queenie joined along with prince ginger, kate wossername that just married into them, Richard the Lionheart, the King and Queen and the King and Queen of Hearts. Since the theme was all things royal, it was hats off to everyone who dressed for the occasion (Mr Fink even had crochet chain mail, bonza).

The prize for the outfits went to Mr and Mrs CaddyFrog (sans wetsuit) who appeared into the BBQ complete with their own Pomp and Ceremony music playing in the background. The prize was of course an 18inch rubber duck that they could take into the hot tub.

Games ensued. swingball (where Mr Fogg absolutely thrashed LilFink), tennis (complete with the worlds worst built tennis net, thanks to the serving wenches), and the best game ever “drown the children in the hot tub”. Mr Caddyfrog was ever so slightly worse for wear 30 minutes after food (too much of the falling down water methinks).

So we’ve consumed a mass of dead animal so far and still a farmyard to get through. More of the hot tubbing and today watching the Royal procession go up the road, but somehow we won’t be joining in due to the typical British summer.

So raise your glasses and two hips and one hurray for the Jubbly Bubbly
