The Day After...

Spent a nice morning looking at our papers and all the coverage of the Wedding. No doubt about the fact that they are a very photogenic couple,and pictures of the kiss on the covers of most papers this morning. Lots of interesting details, about how the dress was made, and where and the shoes, earrings etc. Top to bottom analysis really. Plus photos of the guests, some flaattering some not so. Poor Victoria Beckham was blasted for being too funerial, and David for having his OBE medal on the wrong side! Get a life as the saying goes..does it matter. All in all a lot of acclaim for the event, with the dress coming in for particular praise, even from Liz Jones in the Mail. Did think Sam Cam looked a bit drab, even if it was a Burberry dress, and no hat..who doesn't wear a hat to an important wedding? Perhaps she was too busy getting the Downing Street Street Party underway!
Nice sunny day today so we sat out this afternoon for a while. VT has got the garden looking really nice at the moment, and the Spireas have come up a treat despite the cold weather in the Winter.
We were discussing the Bank Holidays and how this year they have been a bit of a mess especially round about now. My mum's birthday was April 4th, and that was always round about Easter, as indeed it is next year too.
Bank Holidays for 2012.

New Year's Day Holiday January 2
Good Friday April 6
Easter Monday April 9
Early May Bank Holiday May 7
Spring Bank Holiday June 4
Diamond Jubilee Holiday June 5
Summer Bank Holiday August 27

So Easter next year is at least a bit more normal.
