Stunning!

Spent a lovely morning along with I suspect millions of others watching the Royal Wedding today. Started quite early with all the preparations, people arriving and watching the outfits etc.,
What a parade of hats! some absolutely outrageous and some just classic, but all a bit special. Princes William and Harry looked suitable handsome in their uniforms, then the bridal party arrived. She was just totally stunning. The dress was gorgeous, along the Grace Kelly lines, simple, elegant and very stylish.Ivory and white satin with a lot of hand made lace used on the bodice and sleeves.A beautiful train and tiara lent by the Queen.Excellent choice. The little bridesmaids looked sweet, and the little page boys full of fun. Bride's sister was in a full length simple fitted dress which was again elegant.
Watched the crowds walking up the Mall and then surging in front of Buckingham Palace, caught a bit of Fox News where the American reporters were discussing how well the crowds were being managed by the "unarmed" police. I do have to say, that when britain does pomp and ceremony it does it very well. Everything seemed to go by clockwork, timed to the last minute,Well done Britain.
Just heard on the news that the couple have left the reception for a while with Prince William driving his fathers vintage Aston Martin with balloons tied to the back, and just wed written on the window. Well good luck to them..his mother would have been very proud, he is a credit to her.
Thoroughly enjoyed the day so far. It will be interesting to see what the fashion police say about the outfits tomorrow.
That's all we have done today really.
Tonight we are having:
Pasties from Waitrose
Gravy
Rice puddings from Waitrose.
