I see that Prince William has finally got engaged to Kate Middleton and that she is wearing my favourite ring ever, Princess Diana's lovely sapphire and diamond arrangement. I remember when Princess Diana got engaged and wore that white blouse and blue suit with back flat shoes...She was so young. She chose the ring quite sensibly because when the jewellers presented her with a selection she said "it was the biggest"I'm not longer in Jersey I'm back in England but I miss the Ole Jersey a lot.
It was so peaceful and soothing
plus there were interesting Norman castles all over the traps 
I actioned a superior bun for Niece FF on Sunday
I loved Feast. It's just below Gorey Castle and is run by New Zealanders.
the food at Feast is excellent. Look:
Readers. See this banoffee pie? I ate it.
This shop had nice stuff
so I bought Mr FF a scarf. He usually likes Italian clobber best, but I think this'll be handy too.
I felt so sad flying away from Jersey. It was so lovely and I am definitely going back.

I wish Miss Kate much luck marrying into that family! I hope William treats her better than his father treated his mother, and that he's marrying for love not duty.
ReplyDeleteNiece FF's bun is 11/10. Your pictures are fabulous; thanks for sharing your travels with us!!
I still haven't been to Jersey, I really must. If only for the Jersey cream with scones!
ReplyDeleteOh FF your pictures are the only thing keeping me of sane mind at my desk this morning! It is drizzling outside so might can imagine I am in the UK...
ReplyDeleteI was very happy to hear of the Royal Engagement too - and I always coveted that ring when I was young..
Enjoy the remainder of your journeys & thanks again for keeping us all up to speed!
Love that tidbit about how Diana picked out her ring. I think it's wonderful that William gave it to Kate— family heirlooms, no matter the carats, always make lovely engagement rings.

Me too, I love Jersey, I lived there for 4 years, many, many years ago. I was the only Australian girl on the island. I would have happily spent the rest of my days there. Thanks for the memories, best of all thank you for such a great blog.
ReplyDeleteFF - how stunning does the engagement ring look with her dress? I want that dress. I think they make a good couple and now everything she wears will be in the mags every day. I love Banoffee pie - its one of my favourites - but not often seen in Aus - should be more of it.
ReplyDeleteI do find it unsettling that Kate has been given Diana's ring for her engagement and she is wearing blue just like Diana wore for her announcement. Maybe I'm too superstitious? And apparently Kate now wants to be called Catherine...hmmmm. Kate/Catherine is gorgeous and I wish her a happy life.
ReplyDeleteNiece FF is adorable sporting superior bun and faux fur jacket.
Feast looks the deal if one wants a hearty meal that fills up a plate. Pity it's so far away.
The floating/stranded boat pics I find highly amusing. Don't know why.
Beaut snuggly scarf for Mr FF. I covert your new scarf FF.
It's been wonderful sharing your adventures.

If I was Kate, I think I would have chosen a new engagement ring. There is too much sadness attached to the marriage of Charles and Diana.
ReplyDeleteDear Ms FF, It sounds as if your world tour is coming to an end. Where did all the time go? I am sure that Mr FF is probably counting down the hours 'til you come home and your garden probably misses you too. I am glad you are eating well - life is too short for poor quality food. Besides, one can chat better over a good meal, I find. I must admit to some ambivalence over the wedding announcement, given the spectacular failure of recent royal weddings. I feel like yelling, "Run! Get out while you still can!" I can already imagine the 'Woman's Day' covers five years from now. Does that sound too pessimistic?
ReplyDeletehi ff,
ReplyDeleteomg i love that scarf you bought the mr. omg i want one. why do i love menstyle clothing so much? what is wrong with me? geez.
love niece ff's do. it is superior.

Diana's ring...my goodness it's a dazzler.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to seeing and hearing a lot more of the young couple!
FF I need to know how you manage to keep yourself looking so great while enjoying such amazing food...any tips that you care to share?
I am struggling with my weight.
Wow FF I am very impressed that you are keeping your blog up whilst on hols...well done you!
ReplyDeleteYay! And YUM! for Banoffee pie! I love it! (cept I dont eat the bananas)
ReplyDeleteAnd about time for Kate and Will! Excellent news! I love that she has Diana's old ring!
I did not know that was how Di picked it??? But if it is true.... Go Lady Di!
What delicious food.
ReplyDeleteI am in awe of Niece FF's hair.
Hope you have a safe trip home.

Oh my goodness, I am over the moon about the royal engagement- she is the luckiest girl in England to have that gorgeous ring.
ReplyDeleteOh I am so excited about the Royal Wedding and how lovely you are in England during the announcement!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a wonderful time in Jersey - what delicious food you had...
So love niece FF and that cute little up'do - she is adorable. x
Oh no I felt so sorry for her getting lumbered with that ring, I thought it was ugly then and still loathe it!
ReplyDeleteI like the sentiment but I would not want that ring. Maybe it would have been nicer for her as a pendant or something similar but an engagement ring from a faulty marriage I don't know......
ReplyDeleteBye Jersey you have been lovely.
Where to next FF ?

Next I go to Swinbrook on my Mitford Crusade and to Oxford and then to Honkers xxxx
ReplyDeleteOh I love a royal wedding and was so excited to read your fabulous post about William and Kate FF. The weight of 'that' ring must be immense but I'm sure when it was given to Diana by Charles it was done so with love and hope. As it is now. I've just posted my own thoughts on my blog and have wished them a lifetime of happiness. Cracking bun by the way.
ReplyDeleteMFS
Dear Ms FF, Mitfords too and Hong Kong again! Yayy!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a lovely generous sharer of your holiday snaps. I have loved seeing your pics - I am heading to the UK next year after having not been there for 15 years and now I just can't wait. Looking forward to Mitford Territory and Oxford.
ReplyDeleteI hope the Tiger was OK with Neice FF taking back her FF jacket.
