What a weekend for Britain! We had such a party to celebrate the Marraige of Prince William and Catherine. Half the nation watched it on TV and it was marvelous event for the Royal couple and the nation. I hope that some of you 2 billion people around the world didn't get up at some ungodly hour to watch the whole thing. That's a third of the population of the entire planet watched the pomp and majesty of the occasion.
Now a couple of points worth noting, It's traditional that the the bride's bouquet gets placed on the grave of the unknown soldier at Westminster Abbey and it's there now on a white cushion. The crowds would have died down a bit before our next visit to London and will still be there.
Second, the Wedding dress will be put on display, probably at Buckingham Palace in the next couple of weeks.
We used the Holiday weekend to go on a short trip to the West Midlands to see some Tudor treasures and found some extraordinary surprises along the way. See our next series of blog entries to find out where we went.
