Lovely to see you in the apron! But really I wanted to say hooray for your chipsticks.

To be hone...I'm not a fan of the royal wedding. To be honest, I think just as many people moaned telling others to stop complaining about the wedding, or don't watch tv if you don't want to see it..but come on, it was EVERYWHERE. Tv, radio, magazines, internet, fashion blogs..everywhere. Impossible to avoid. I'm Irish and the Royal Wedding has nothing to do with me so I really don't see why media outside of the UK were so interested in it. Tbh I probably wouldn't care even if I was from the UK. Anyways cute photographs, your tea party looks fun! xo<br /><br />http://www.pearlslaceandruffles.compearlslaceandruffleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09206079078746196308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-54990031312659228192011-05-01T08:02:15.975+01:002011-05-01T08:02:15.975+01:00EEEK!

I actually forgot about the wedding, me and my mam went to the park to teach my niece to ride her bike without stabilisers, it's cute how proud she was of herself after she'd managed it! I wasn't bothered about the wedding in the run-up, but I looked at pictures later in the evening, and I just watched a few videos, and I'm a bit disappointed that I didn't watch it live. I'm not really interested in the monarchy, but actually it was all rather sweet. <br /><br />My views on the whole thing: I loved Kate's dress, didn't like Pippa's very much, and thought that Tara P-T's hat looked like a vagina. The car they left Buckingham Palace in was cute, and I loved the bridesmaid who covered her ears when they were standing on the balcony. Also cute were the few asides that have been reported, like Prince William joking that it was supposed to be a small family affair.<br /><br />P.S. I love your teapot!Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05011168393700322108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-14059619841424934672011-04-30T17:40:35.277+01:002011-04-30T17:40:35.277+01:00The food spread looks awesome!The food spread looks awesome!hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04762799590721906844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-5570343568443995382011-04-30T16:42:24.897+01:002011-04-30T16:42:24.897+01:00Looks like a brilliant day!

We had sarnies, cup cakes and lots of Pimms. It was fab - such a lovely wedding.

As everyone who reads my blog knows, I love the Royals but would never bitch about anyone who didn't. Unfortunately my family are Rebublicans and very vocal about it. Thankfully they pushed off on holiday to avoid the whole shebang, and I was able to dress up, bake my heart out and toast the lovely couple to my heart's content.<br /><br />xxx MaddieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-72561951698889568172011-04-30T08:36:28.468+01:002011-04-30T08:36:28.468+01:00I am SERIOUSLY impressed with the baking skills, A...I am SERIOUSLY impressed with the baking skills, Alex!<br /><br />And the hat.<br /><br />And the tea-stuff.

And in danger of sounding sappy- it's nice to see 2 people who getting married, because it reminds me that there are people out there who love each other and are nice to each other.
