I Y
UK
In case it has escaped your notice, 2012 is a bit of a big
year for the UK. We’ve already celebrated the 200th anniversary of
the birth of Charles Dickens, June sees the Queen’s 60th Jubilee,
then July brings the attention of the world with the opening of the Olympic
Games, followed by the Paralympics in August and September... If that lot
doesn’t make you feel patriotic, then nothing will! There are many ways to get
involved in the spirit of the whole thing, but for foodies the must-do event is
the Big Lunch on Sunday 3rd June; an open invite to all across the
land to participate in a neighbourly feeding frenzy, or street party as it’s
more commonly known.
If you’re thinking of joining the Big Lunch, or even just
throwing a little Jubilee tea party of your own, then it is, I think, important
to look the part, which is where the good folk at Premier Housewares can help.
To mark this most momentous of years, Premier have launched three lovely cookware
collections - I Love UK, The
London Collection, Cool Britannia - so you can serve your party snacks with style.
It is, of course, all a matter of personal taste, but for me
the I Love UK set really stands out
from its competitors. The collection comprises a full range of afternoon tea
tableware - tea pot (£13.49), sugar bowl & milk jug (£7.49), mugs (£4.49
each), and cake stands (£8.49-£13.49) - as well as helpful accessories, such as
bunting (£18.49), cupcake cases (£1.49-£2.49) and coasters (£4.49/4). Lightweight
for ease of use, each piece is hand painted and therefore unique, adding a
charming rustic feel to the range, while the large rounded handles are
comfortable to hold.
So there you go; if you feel like adding to the festive
atmosphere and taking a break from all the financial doom and gloom pop to your
nearest cook shop and brighten your tea with the best of British.
The Premier
Housewares Jubilee collections are available from www.Amazon.co.uk and selected cook shops. More
