Am I the only one who was originally slightly disinterested in this but is now totally obsessed by it? Maybe it's the hormones of having a young baby but I've already had tears in my eyes while watching the BBC coverage (and no that wasn't because I saw that annoying Fearne Cotton was doing some of it). Gutted no-one I know is having a party. Thought I could watch it with husband (who is quite girly about weddings anyway) but he has an osteopaths appointment this morning. How?

about 30 mins ago I was setting the scene for a painting, colouring, mask-making, rocket-building kind of morning with my two boys, cheesy disco classics blasting from the CD player. Then my anti-royalist missus floated in - music off, TV on and now she is glued to the TV with the two boys kissing each other and cheering. What gives?

I'm also fundamentally anti-royal but I'm also encouraging my kids to watch it.

I think it is just one of those events that there will be a globally shared memory of - the others have mostly been sad events such as twin towers, Diana's funeral, etc. You have to make the most of a happy event, I think, whenever it happens!

I grew up very far away from here, but even I remember, as a small child, seeing Diana going to her wedding 30 years ago... I think will be nice for my children to be able to look back on this wedding and say, "I was in England when that happened!"

Well I ended up watching it with baby uptime (5 months) and the cat and we all LOVED it and thought the happy couple looked splendid - loved the bright red on Wills. I know that sounds sad but not as sad as my husband who watched it on his laptop with the osteopath during the treatment. Weird.

The most tedious thing about the royal wedding is all the *OH I can't be arsed with it* posturing all over Facebook/The Lounge....fair enough if you've know interest but posting it all over every bit of Social Media avaialble strikes me as posturing in the 'doth protest too much' by half...


I'm working but watched a bit and the kids went down to PRye. My son (3) was most excited that the "Duke of York" was mentioned as that's his number 1 nursery rhyme :))

my 4 year old daughter LOVED it! "mummy, can we go and wave at them", "mummy, why can't they come to our house", "mummy when I marry m**** (her best friend/boyfriend!!) I want to wear a dress like that", "mummy, look look at the crown on the carriage" etc etc. It really made it enjoyable for me :))

    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
