The Royal Wedding trumps Antigua Sailing Week, this once only!
So this post, should count as a new day, as from where I am it is 12:44 in the a.m. to be exact.
In a previous post, I mentioned I would not be going to the Royal Wedding, because I was Antigua-bound, for the Antigua Sailing Week. Well, to put it mildly my mom got to me - and my dates were changed. Quite pleased though that I was able to be in the UK, for such a historical event, which I enjoyed immensely. Just can't help it, these sort of things appeal to me - even though no one could understand, why anyone would want to go through all the trouble of standing for hours in a crowd, for an event you could see on television. Anyway, the day before the event, I packed my georgie bundle and headed into London to overnight, rose early ON THE DAY (I had no intentions of camping out) to secure a reasonably good location outside the Westminister Abbey.
Loved how everyone in my area came together, joked, sung, smiled with each other, and just made the experience so much better, than say watching it from the comforts of your home. And at the end of all the pomp and ceremony, I headed out to an after party!
Once in a lifetime experience for me - and I definitely made sure I held on to the two editions of The Evening Standard that came out that April 29th "Sealed with a Kiss" and "My Royal Bride". Yup, those papers will be passed down to the next generation...hmm, right.
