Ну наконец-то Вам удалось докапаться до британского праздника, поздравляю!

Alex, LATELY doesn't work here.

Alexander Аkimovadded a comment 6 лет назад

Changed to RECENTLY. However, what’s the difference?

grumbleradded a comment 6 лет назад

Neither does WE. Alex certainly didn't celebrate it.
Это школьное задание - рассказать о каком-нибудь английском празднике. Думаю, в этом случае хорошо сказать happened to be.

RECENTLY is normally used to refer to something that happened once in the not too distant past, whereas LATELY refers to something that has been ongoing for the past few days, weeks: Grumbler got into a huge argument with his boss recently - he’s been in a bad mood lately.

Also, Alex, your translation would sound much better with A British holiday.

Oh, thanks Uly! Good to wremember (note: the “W” is silent)
