You know how there are some things that are so amazing that you’re just not sure how to write about them. You know you should write about them, and if you have a blog this is the kind of thing that should go on it. But it’s hard to find the words and make it sound interesting to others because often these moments are also
you just had to be there
moments.
Well I had one of those this week.
And it started with a little obstinance on my part.
So I almost missed this amazing opportunity to do some Royal gazing.
I was supposed to be going to the Easter Show but at the insistence of my family, stayed at home in anticipation of a Royal Visit. Now with hindsight I know I would have hated to have missed seeing them, but in the lead up to the day I didn’t really care.
I thought it would just be a quick, drive by type thing. A wave and maybe a photograph. It wasn’t. It was way better than that. It basically turned into a huge street party. From nine til eleven in the morning I hung out with friends and family, chatting and waiting. And that was almost more fun than even getting to see Kate and William. We placed bets as to whether my sister would cry or not when they arrived.
This is what I did end up getting to see.
Unfortunately that great picture in the middle was not taken by me but by a friend who I was there with.
My best picture looks like this.
But I feel entitled to claim the other one because I was there when it was taken and helped wrangle her small children so they were both entertained and out of harm’s way during the whole thing.
Her picture made it onto Sunrise and another friend had hers picked up by Today on Instagram and Twitter.
All in all it was not too bad.
And my sister didn’t cry, in case you were wondering.
Coming up on my next blog: I write more often and about more books.
