Happy Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend! What has everyone been up to? It’s been great having time to slow down a bit. Here are my Five Fab Things from this week.

Sometimes I have to pinch myself because I just can’t quite believe all the amazingly kind and generous reviews Me, in the Middle has been getting. Ones that pop up out of the blue are always a wonderful surprise. I’ve been feeling giddy over In The Picture Book Club’s review of our book that I spotted in the morning when I woke up! Thank you so much!

We’ve had a last second visit from Uncle Button this week. Yass!!! As he lives up North now, we don’t get to see him nearly as much as we’d like to. So we’ve been having tons of fun and making the most of the gorgeous weather.

Little Button’s been under the weather all week, so instead of heading into central London for the Jubilee celebrations, we had our own pizza party in the garden. I can’t lie. It was so much FUN! And, admittedly, I much preferred staying at home and catching highlights of the London events on TV, rather than actually being there in person in the big crowds.


Market Halls in Oxford Street London was another unexpected find that I’m thrilled about. It’s a bit secret, and the perfect hangout with friends and family. It’s child friendly too! I’m going to write a bit more about it in another post. So, I’ll leave you with this Instagram Reel.

I’m the same, I’d rather celebrate at home than be in big crowds. And pizza is fun for any celebration! #DreamTeam
It’s been so lovely watching the jubilee celebrations from afar. You guys have had it so rough in the last few years. Lovely to see you all so happy and joyous! Enjoy! #Dreamteam
