Quick update! Thanks to your votes and RT’s the English Strawberries won against @BigSpud’s Asparagus and made it into the hamper! Even better, I had also chosen a Welsh Sparkling wine called Glyndwr, which went into battle against Katie’s Pommery Pop Union Jack Champage and the Welsh bubbles won, too! So, both will feature in Waitrose Best of British hamper, which you have a chance of winning via the Waitrose social media pages. Thank you!
The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee weekend is getting nearer and I am starting to get excited. I didn’t think I would at first, but I have to say, the patriotic displays filling our shops and supermarkets is quite inspiring. I love seeing the rows and rowns of bunting and it makes me really happy to see British produce being celebrated and showcased on such a grand scale. I have also been lured in by one or two pretty plates and cakes stands and have already been practicing my jubilee bakes…
I was asked by the British supermarket Waitrose – suppliers to the Royal Household “By Appointment” – to chose my ‘Best of British’ Jubilee street party item to be part of a Jubilee hamper. My selected item will go into battle against another street party item live this morning at 9.30am on Twitter. My battle will last for 8 hours and I am up against @BigSpud (Gary Fenn) who has chosen the mighty asparagus.
