Did you come to the party?

Despite the weather threatening to be very British, the Garden Party was a great success!

We wore our beautiful hats, we played fun games, we ate delicious food and...we listened to and sang along with the UIAD singing group  Anglais en chantant!

If you appear on one of the photos and do not want the photo to be displayed on the blog, please email us and we will remove it.

And don't forget to click on Students' Corner (the link is just underneath the title of the blog above). There you can read a report of the Garden Party by a student and watch a video of the UIAD singing group in action!

And here are the karaoke versions of the songs we sang...so you can sing the songs too, sitting on your sofa...

First, Laurence Voulzy:

Then we sang The Lambeth Walk. This is a song from a 1937 musical called Me and My Girl.

The song takes its name from a local street, Lambeth Walk, once known for its street market and its working-class culture, in the Lambeth area of London:

Here we go round the Mulberry Bush is a well-known children's nursery rhyme:

The Yellow Rose of Texas is a traditional American folk song, dating back to at least 1850:

And finally, we also sang One-Way Ticket, by Neil Sedaka:

Happy Singing!

Garden Party

You are invited to a Garden Party!

It won't be at Buckingham Palace, of course, but at Belmont - which is almost as exciting...

It's always a lot of fun and we look forward to seeing you there.

The details are on the poster below.

Coronation Quiche

 

As you all know, the British are known for their sophisticated and refined cuisine...

Or perhaps not.

But here is some good news. For the Coronation on Saturday, the Royal Chef has created a dish fit for a King.

It may look like a simple spinach tart to you but...no. It is a Coronation Quiche! 

A Royal quiche. Imagine that!

And you can download the simplified recipe below.

Bon appétit...
