Beginning with Autumn and ending with Summer, this book covers the British year and a whole range of social and family occasions through a myriad of personal tips, favourite recipes and useful decorating ideas.
Practical but yet full of fun, it guides readers through the planning stages to the day itself, from a simple birthday breakfast, through a picnic on the beach to a show-stopping New Year's Eve celebration. As well as providing easy and affordable solutions to throwing a successful celebration, it offers some charming and little-known facts and historical anecdotes surrounding each occasion. The result is a cornucopia of information that is fascinating, inspiring and wonderfully accessible.
