I can safety report that very soon no part of Britain will escape being covered in Bunting for the Jubilee weekend! The other marvellous tea-lema for Tea with Mary Kate as she making her way to London is quite how many afternoon teas can be squeezed into one weekend – well, there’s only one way to find out! I loved the purple theme of this afternoon tea at the Park Lane Hilton – quite regal with the beautiful portrait of the Queens coronation by Cecil Beaton



I think you might be more worried about where to get refuge from the rain and 10C temperature on Sunday. Poor Queen Liz – rain on her parade, I think!!
there will be the usual British stoicism I suspect – while the rain drips off the bunting – I think it will call for lots of tea though
Wow, that’s an impressively regal afternoon tea! There’s so much jubiliana going on I feel a bit overwhelmed.
