Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her Platinum Jubilee (70 years on the throne) over the first weekend in June. Our good friends the Maleys are half-British and half-American, and so we celebrated the Queen's Platinum Jubilee at their house on Sunday, 5th June. (South Africa, having once been a British colony, is also part of the Commonwealth and my ties to the UK are quite strong.) We enjoyed a lovely spread of English treats and cups of tea, along with games, face-painting, a magic show, and an evening bonfire. It was a fantastic night!
