Homemade

Here’s a recipe for simnel cake. It’s fairly elaborate and when decorated properly can look pretty special. A good one for adults to make with kids too young to sort out presents on their own. Homemade cards are also thoughtful items to send on Mother’s Day. Try to make it personal and colourful for Spring.

Henley Royal Regatta is amongst the top events of the summer season for those who wish to be seen. A keen rival to Royal Ascot and the Chelsea Flower Show, Henley fiercely guards entrance to the Stewards’ Enclosure in the same way that Churchill was famed for protecting the Royal Enclosure at Ascot from 1901.

Regatta Enclosure tickets are available to all. Entry to the posher Stewards’ Enclosure is restricted to members and guests. There are 6,500 members and a waiting list of over 1,000. Lately corporate punters (whose packages cost as much as £600), can also get in, for an extra £45.

Henley began in 1839 and this year will see 450 crews from 17 different nations compete in what has become the biggest annual party for the rowing community in Europe. This year’s participation has suffered somewhat from Olympic selection obligations but will still prove to be a competitive day, with rowers having had to compete in pre-selection races.

The dress code tends to be summer smart casual. Think straw boaters and floaty dresses. Click on the images to visit the retailers of each item.
