Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I'm going to my step & zumba classes as usual but will set the box to record it so I can fast forward the dull bits . I was almost exactly the same age as ES is now when Charles & Diana got married so dug out some old photos. I was working at a hotel in Cornwall after my first year at uni. This is the only evidence that something was afoot, I can't remember a thing about the day . I'm on the right, the bloke in the middle was French and I think worked at the same hotel.

The Dogmother Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Soooo, you're not getting the t shirt then Lewis? Been raining like mad here but clear now. I have a lot of mending and ironing to do, and some upholstery work too, so I'll set up in front of the TV and break the habit of a lifetime but switching it on!

Charlottechicken Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I shall be watching, in between doing bits and bobs around the house. Looking forward to seeing the dress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I'm going to watch with the children. DD has her posse over and they all want to see the marriage of their future King. I wasn't particularly interested to start with but have become excited because of their interest which I think is lovely as they are 13,15 and 17 and they have surprised me as they have come all over patriotic. They are not interested or impressed by celebrity but very much want to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I think that Rosie and her friends are camping out here too, especially as it's raining and everywhere in town is closed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pips_pekins Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 OH is taking me to collect a secondhand eglu classic. Satnav says it will take almost two hours to get there! On the way back we are visiting family and I have packed some pink fizz to toast the couple - any excuse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Just finished our first bottle of bubbly and watching the tv - we've all been in tears watching the wedding, so beautiful. DD is keeping us updated with what's going on around her. Proud to be British. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seagazer Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I love the fact that William drove himself and Catherine back to Clarence House in his Dad's car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I love the fact that William drove himself and Catherine back to Clarence House in his Dad's car. Yes, I liked that too - caught it by pure accident as i was doing other things by that stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I'm full of coronation chicken rolls, scones with clotted cream & jam and a large quantity of Pimms I could definitely do with a nap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 DD and her friend got back about 6 - exhausted and dehydrated but having thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We had recorded the whole thing for them to watch, as they'd obviously not been able to see it although they had heard it. As the crowd is walking towards Buckingham Palace we actually were able to see them in the crowd - never heard such high pitched screaming A fantastic day and one that they will definitely remember for ever.

Old Speckled Hen Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 The weather was good, we camped in the hills above Black Sail and hiked up Great Gable. Exhausted and tucked up in our sleeping bags under the stars we gazed at the milky way with only a distant owl for company. It was a great weekend. I did have a look at the Saturday papers when we got home and I must say Kate looked lovely.................isn't William bald though I didn't realise. They looked so happy and relaxed; such a contrast to that scared resigned look Diana had the day she wed our future King. I wish them the very best.

LisaP Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Well we got a lot if decorating done over the two long weekends - painted our bedroom, banisters and wide dado rail down the stairs, lounge, dining room, kitchen and have done several doors inside and out, including the garage door. Still got a lot more to do but made good headway and I still got to see the main part of the Wedding. I really wasn't that bothered about it, had had enough of all the hype beforehand but did enjoy seeing the ceremony. Lisa P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
