The Big Day

What an incredibly wedding it was! I watched the arrivals and the service with friends and family and to this moment can't believe how beautiful the day was, especially the bride! What a dress! We had a barbeque in the afternoon and across the country (and the world) so many people were celebrating in different ways. I love the official wedding portrait and here is the British Monarchy Flickr page. So now one more day off, and then back to normality...

I'm not ashamed to say it - I am incredibly excited about the Royal Wedding! The flags along Regent Street make me feel all patriotic and with the constant Bank Holidays, "the Wedding" are the words on everyone's lips. I really think this illustration by Mr Ned captures the Union Jack laden spirit!

Royal Mug

Everywhere there is talk of 'The Wedding'. It was the number one question from Americans when we were in Israel. And so around it pops up lots of Wills and Kate memorabilia. I really like the plates that are about, but this mug by Cole of London is kind of grotesque, but I like it that way! You can get mugs of your favourite kings and queens, be they Elizabeth I, Charles I or Victoria.
