Malachi and Mutzli Celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee

MUTZLI: "Malachi, do you think Her Majesty would think it wrong if I were to lick the whisk? After all, we do have the strawberry sponge cake covered in pink icing."

 

MALACHI: "Oh no Mutzli!" *Selects a cupcake decorated with pink sprinkles and a pink rabbit.* "Her Majesty went through the war, so she understands about food rationing, and not letting food go to waste. Besides, Mutzli, you know what I always say, when it comes to food."

 

MUTZLI: "Waste not, want not?"

 

MALACHI: "Exactly!"

 

2022 marks the year that Her Majesty The Queen will become the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee after 70 years of devoted and loyal service to her people.

 

Celebrations will be happening in Britain and around the world during the Platinum Jubilee Central Weekend which takes place from 2nd to 5th June.

 

Malachi and his cousin Mutzli are enjoying a pink themed tea part in honour of Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee. They are using their pink edged pink rose tea set, and as well as the pink iced strawberry sponge, they are having cupcakes with pink icing and pink strawberry chocolates. And all of this they are having on.... hang on! Malachi. That's my book of old restaurant advertisements you are taking tea on!

 

MALACHI: "Well, you will insist on leaving your books unattended, Daddy. There was a nice matching pink page to sit on."

 

MUTZLI and MALACHI: "God save our Queen! Long may she reign over us! Hip-hip hoorah! Hip-hip hoorah! Hip-hip hoorah!"

 

Malachi I acquired in mid-March 2020 (and mid Coronavirus) from a wonderful Melbourne stalwart toy shop: Dafel Dolls and Bears, when I went looking for a present for one of my goddaughters. Malachi is designed by Mary and hand-made by Wendy Joy in Australia. He has articulated arms and legs, and an extremely sweet face. Malachi was the name he came with, written by hand on his little tag.

 

Mutzli was a lovely surprise gift from a dear friend in Britain who kindly slipped him into a parcel of other delightful gifts for me. Like Malachi, he is mohair, has articulated arms and legs, and an extremely sweet face. Mutzli got his name from the tiny gold tag around his neck. He is made by Mutzli, a Swiss bear manufacturer since 1949.
