Caught up in the romance of it all

I don't care who knows it - I loved the Royal Wedding.

I loved the count-downs, speculative documentaries, "I met Kate Middleton once" programs and, best of all, Kate and William - the Movie, which is possibly both the best and worst thing i have ever seen in my life. Not to mention some...erm...zany members of the public being interviewed!

Although i did not have any flags, or bunting, or commemorate cakes (well i am a university student, with limited funds and time!), I made the effort to not go into the library and watch the entire wedding, and most of the build-up....

If i look HALF as good on my wedding day as she did, i'd be lucky. Absolutely stunning.

If you can't get swept up in the romance of this, then what is the point?

And there's still hope...there's still Harry...




Unless Pippa Middleton got in there first!

Why I Love Being a Londoner

I love knowing where to stand on the platform for the tube doors to open right in front of me

I love walking at 'London' pace to dart through hordes of tourists

I love how out of place my 'London' pace looks in any other city

I love feeling weirdly safe in a city full of nutters

I love my impatience at waiting five minutes for a train

I love the panic of not getting on a bus first

I love feeling completely anonymous in a sea of strangers

I love coming home to the chaos of Kings Cross

I love the way it never gets truly dark with the yellow tint in the sky

I love London......and I love being a snob about  :)
