Boo Hoo and a Right Royal do!

























If you read my last post you will know that I had high hopes of getting to grips with my new camera, but alas the big black box of digital technology stopped working on Friday. Just as my family and I were gathered for the Royal Wedding too! How inconvenient! I did manage to get a couple of pics that day but after the camera lens got stuck on full zoom and wouldn't retract I was scuppered. Anyway apart from that we had a fabulous party and thoroughly enjoyed watching the wedding take place. Pomp and ceremony are what we Brits do best according to my Dad, who not being a royalist and who is a staunch atheist surprised us all by watching the whole ceremony from start to finish and joining in all the hymms, singing each one by heart! We all dressed up in red white and blue, and I put up bunting at my windows. We had smoked salmon, bagels and cream cheese for breakfast with Kia Royale to toast our Royal couple
It was a truly beautiful occasion, a day to remember for a long time to come and a welcome distraction from the recession and credit crunching misery of late.

Oh and my camera has been returned to the manufacturer for repair, so all is well and I shall revert to my compact one for now. Hope you had a great weekend too!
