Celebrate the Arrival of the Royal baby!

This week saw yet another momentous event in British history - the birth of the royal baby.

Since 2011 there have been plenty of royal events to get excited about; The Diamond Jubilee, the royal wedding, the Queens Coronation Festival and now a new Prince. So it's safe to say that this is a perfect time to celebrate!

Britons are well know for hosting great parties, and events like this are the perfect excuse to pull out the union jack flags and royal memorabilia we all have stashed away at the back of the cupboard, and enjoy a quintessentially British barbeque, picnic or tea party.

If you live abroad having these kind of events can be a great way to spend time with friends and family, as well as letting the world know that you're British and proud of it.

So whether you prefer to celebrate with a cup of PG Tips and a buttered crumpet, or with a glass of Pimms and a cheddar cheese sandwich, make sure you pull out all the stops at your celebration like only we Brits can!

Celebrate Wimbledon With a Glass of Pimms!


Pimms No 1   70clWhat a fantastic weekend of sport we've had here in the UK. Not only did the Lions Rugby team convincingly beat Australia in the final test, but a British man has finally won Wimbledon!
 
Having waited 77 years for the latter to happen it's understandable that today the country is talking of nothing else!
 
Wimbledon is a uniquely British affair, and its crisp green grass courts, strawberries and cream on demand and enthusiastic crowd make it one of the most popular sporting tournaments in the world.
 
However, with the success of the Olympics it was hard to imagine anything even coming close to the emotional connection the country had with sport last summer, but yesterday proved that theory wrong.
 
Yet again the success of British sport has brought us together as a nation, and enhanced the already positive feeling that comes with being British.
 
So why not celebrate yet another British sporting success story with a glass of Pimms and a bowl of strawberries and cream wherever you are in the world!
