Whether you are a royalist or not, you can't deny that the Jubilee is bringing the country together in a unique way. I mean when else are street parties not only accceptable but commonplace? Every commercial company seems to have cottoned on and it is not only your biscuit tins that are patriotic - suddenly everything from smoothies to Marmite (ma'mite) is covered in red, white and blue.
The local breast feeding support groups organised a picnic, (open to everyone no matter what your feeding choices). Luckily the weather gods were being kind and the afternoon was beautifully warm. The chosen park had enough trees to provide shelter for those blonde of hair and pale of skin, and enough open space for the sun worshippers. In a show of community spirit, we had a shared picnic, with everyone bringing something along, and both parents and babies alike loved it.
