Yesterday we celebrated the royal wedding of William & Kate, accompanied by our neighbours and a gluttonous amount of British-themed food & drink. We all brought a little something British for breakfast and watched the live coverage together.
We were going to bring the TV out to the garden, but it was a bit grey so we stayed in.
We had Pimm’s royale, which is basically a bit of Pimm’s and a strawberry, topped with cava. It was pretty good, actually.
The wedding itself was really exciting. Trudy correctly predicted that the Queen would wear yellow and Alan discovered his love for Pippa Middleton. I kept noticing Canada flags in the crowd and we all went crazy when we saw the Princes arrive.
Alan earned his princess crown…
After the wedding, the sun came out and we moved to Mat & Sarah’s garden for a BBQ.
Check out the food! We had corn on the cob, homemade beef and turkey burgers, chicken skewers, salads, spicy chicken drumsticks and probably more that I’m forgetting…
Mat cooked it up for us…
…as Alan dished out more Cava!
We enjoyed our feast and had a few laughs as the sun went down. We even toasted marshmallows!
At one point, Pipsqueak surprised us by jumping onto the roof of the marquee! I think she was feeling left out…
Once it got dark, we went in and belted out tunes in Sing Star until eventually we retired to our own Tory houses and hit the hay.
What a day!
