I brought an English Trifle to yesterday’s party. It was either a success or everyone was too polite to tell me otherwise. The other dishes were equally British: Pork Pie, Roast Beef, Toad-in-the-Hole, Eccles Cake and Coronation Chicken. It was fun to watch crowds of people around Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace. Many of them had been there since long before dawn just to catch a glimpse of the bride and groom. Outlandish hats were the order of the day. The silliest one was probably Princess Beatrice’s. I would have thought wearing no hat at all would be preferable. But I heard several complaints about the Prime Minister’s wife who did just that. I made this block in honor of yesterday’s packed London streets. I didn’t realize until I’d finished it that I’d made it going in the wrong direction. Oh well. If that doesn’t explain why I don’t drive here, nothing will.
