| Chris and Barb Gulley surprised by dear friends Rik and Carol D. with balloons and bubbly. |
In Bridgerton terms, Barb's Tea Service was the diamond of its podcast season, marking an exciting milestone: 60 episodes recorded at ONTV Studios.
We planned our topics, our tea and our attire, but what we didn't anticipate was a surprise visit by our dear friends, and fellow podcasters, Rik and Carol D., who arrived just before recording with congratulatory balloons and a bottle of bubbly. What a delightful way to toast our 60th podcast!

| In our 30 minutes, we talked Royals and Jane Austen's 250th birthday |
Like our 50th “Golden” podcast earlier this year, we honored this milestone with its anniversary counterpart: Diamond. While we’re always open to a little polish, the true gems of this journey are the ONTV staff who encourage and assist us, and the friends who continue to support our podcast adventure.

| Chris, dapper "arm candy" donned the bow tie for the occasion. |
Milestones we showcased on our milestone:
Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Anniversary (2012) and, just three years later, her historic achievement of surpassing Queen Victoria as the longest-reigning English monarch. We were in London in September 2015, touring Buckingham Palace, when QEII broke the record (though not as guests at the private gala!).
Jane Austen’s 250th birthday (December 16). We’ve been celebrating Austen all year with themed teas, festivals, and even a feature in TeaTime Magazine on the Jane Austen Exhibit at New York City’s Morgan Library.

And more!
In the spirit of season, we also shared some of the British Royals Christmas traditions from Darren McGrady, the Royal Chef and a sprinkle of Meghan Markle's Holiday Special.
